Two days after it lowered gas pump prices, Prince Edward Island will be adjusting the costs on Thursday.

The P.E.I. Regulatory and Appeals Commission said there will be an unscheduled price change for regular and premium gasoline, as well as furnace oil and diesel, at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday.

“Global events have resulted in market volatility, which sometimes requires unscheduled pricing adjustments (interruptions),” the commission said in a news release.

The current minimum price of self-serve gasoline on the Island is 196 cents per litre. Diesel’s minimum price is 228.7 cents per litre.

P.E.I. is schedule to have another pricing adjustment on Friday.
