• Diesel prices will decrease by 4.3 cpl; and
• Propane prices will decrease by 3.8 cpl for Superior Propane, by 4.5 cpl for Irving Energy Distribution and Marketing and by 4.8 cpl for Kenmac Energy Inc.

The maximum price for furnace oil will now be 97.0 cpl.
Significant reductions in the wholesale price of all petroleum products over the past two weeks now afford the Commission the opportunity to implement the above described product price reductions.
The Commission's next scheduled price adjustment will be on June 15, 2012.
