The UARB used the rarely invoked 'interruptor clause' to abruptly lower gas prices

The province's Utility and Review Board has taken the rare step of invoking the 'interruptor clause' to lower the price for gasoline mid-week.

The UARB is lowering the minimum price for regular self serve by an even six cents, to 113.3.

A smaller decrease for the price of diesel - those fuel prices falling by 4.9 cents to 112.9.

In announcing that they would be invoking the 'interruptor clause' yesterday, the board says they do so when it is necessary due to significant shifts in the market prices of gasoline, and oil.
