Diesel fuel escalation surcharge

Throughout the year, from May to December, fuel prices will be monitored for increases from the benchmark fuel price of $2.00/Litre. Base rates will be increased by 1.5% for each 10-cent incremental change in the price of diesel above the $2.00 benchmark. Fuel prices will typically be reviewed every other Friday, and any increase will remain in effect for a two-week period. However, if there are significant changes to the price of diesel or the price of fuel appears very volatile, fuel prices may be reviewed more frequently.
