Fuel prices jumped Monday, up to $5.74 per gallon for gasoline and $6.53 for diesel at Haines Industrial’s pumps. At Delta Western across the street, prices are now $5.79 for gasoline and $6.58 for diesel. 

Prices had held steady in Haines for weeks, even as global fuel prices skyrocketed following the United States’ war on Iran. 

In mid-April, Delta Western spokesperson Di Do said the company hadn’t raised prices in Haines since March 13, the date of the most recent fuel delivery to the Lutak Dock. There has not been a new fuel delivery since then, Haines harbormaster Henry Pollan said. 

Haines Industrial owner Haynes Tormey, who is supplied by Delta Western, said he was notified of its pricing change Monday morning.
