The price of propane is up by 1.9 cents a litre.

The PUB says while the seasonal blending of fuel products is normally lifted with the first scheduled pricing adjustment in April, the Board has decided that the lifting of the blend should be phased-in over a period of time. The decision was made based on “recent extraordinary commodity market activity.”
