Whereas the purpose of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations is to ensure just and reasonable prices for specified petroleum products taking into consideration the objectives of preserving the availability of such products in rural areas, stabilizing prices of such products and minimizing the variances in prices of such products across the Province; And

whereas the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (“Board”) considered the manner in which it would proceed to set petroleum prices in its decision, 2006 NSUARB 108, issued on October 16, 2006; And

whereas the Board revised the retail margin and transportation allowance effective January 6, 2012, in its decision, 2011 NSUARB 181, issued on November 23, 2011; And

whereas the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) for the week ended December 26, 2012, are: Grade 1 Regular gasoline 73.0¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 80.8¢ per litre

Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be: Gasoline: Grade 1 73.0¢ per litre Grade 2 76.0¢ per litre Grade 3 79.0¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 80.8¢ per litre And

now therefore the Board has determined, based on historical data regarding price changes and to achieve revenue neutrality, it is appropriate to apply, and the Board so orders, forward averaging corrections of: Gasoline: plus 0.5¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil: nil And

whereas a winter blending adjustment of plus 3.9¢ per litre is required for ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil; And

now therefore the Board prescribes the prices for petroleum products as set forth in
