Our newsroom is predicting that when the UARB adjusts prices at midnight tonight they will jump by about 3 cents per litre.
George Murphy of Consumers for Fair Gas Prices told News 95.7 a week long increase in the price of oil is behind this week’s price jump.
“We’ve seen Brent Crude, for example, rising about 6 or 7 dollars a barrel over the last week,” said Murphy. “We’ve got West Texas Intermediate up about 4 dollars over the last week.”
Murphy added military action in Libya is weighing in on the price of oil.
