Reference excerpt

Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island is regulated by the Prince Edward Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission, the regulatory arm of the Government of Prince Edward Island. The commission is commonly shortened to the "Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission and is usually referred to by its acronym "IRAC".

Price Make up Petroleum marketers buy fuel on the basis of the "rack price" and the price set by refiners willing to supply Prince Edward Island retailers, mainly the Irving Oil Refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick, which, since August 2013 is the only oil refinery remaining in the Maritimes. IRAC petroleum regulators determine a "wholesale price" or "Approved Dealer Base Price" based on commodity prices usually derived from the NYEX. IRAC petroleum regulators then sets a "tank truck price" which includes Federal Excise Tax (10¢/L for gasoline and 6¢/L for diesel, as well as the provincial petroleum tax (13.1¢/L for gasoline and 20.2¢/L for diesel). IRAC petroleum regulators also establish a "retail price" which provides a profit margin for retailers established at 5¢/L to 7.5¢/L for full serve fuel and 4¢/L to 5.5¢/L for self serve fuel. All prices have an additional 15% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) added. Prices are revised on the 1st and 15th day of each month, or whenever the price raises or falls on the market sufficiently to interrupt the cycle by triggering an interrupting formula.

Notice Consumers in Prince Edward Island are notified of any changes in the price via the IRAC website and through the media. Price changes are closely guarded by IRAC to prevent runs on supply at local service stations.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island

In research: Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Petroleum economics, Politics of Prince Edward Island, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Petroleum pricing in Prince Edward Island outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
