I'm curious - If there is no change, do the Berwick PetroCan and Irving/Needs stations revert back to the highest allowable price for three days again? We'll try and track that!

Right on, as it turns out. 1.5 / 1.6 in Zone Two. C-H was off by a bit this week. The URB web site isn't very user friendly, but we'll get it bookmarked eventually...

CBC said nothing on its Nova Scotia at 6 report. Don't know about the Whatever at 5, or the Halifax at 5:30 reports. I've about given up on the CBC evening news, too convoluted for my tastes.

The C-H predicts a drop of 1 cent per liter, while the CBC predicts a drop of 1.8 cents per liter. We'll see who's closest to the price fixers dart board tonight...

Both the Berwick PetroCan and the Berwick Needs Convenience Store have now brought their prices into line with those of the surrounding communities. I'm sure Berwick consumers are relieved they don't have to leave town to get fuel at a slightly more reasonable price...

Just took a drive into Berwick, their price went up by three tenths of a cent. Lucky Berwickians (?) Berwickites (?). They continue to be hosed with the highest price possible under the price fixing regime.

I missed the CBC news last evening, and the Chronicle-Herald missed the forecast today. So, its anybody's guess what will happen tonight. Mind you, that makes it the same as any other week!

They very precisely forecast a drop of one tenth of a cent. I suspect they meant a drop of one cent, but... Meanwhile, the C-H says no change this week.
