Why this exists.

Fuel prices in Newfoundland and Labrador change without warning.

By law, the Public Utilities Board announces price adjustments only after they take effect — at midnight. As of 2026, with global oil markets in flux, those changes are happening more frequently than ever.

For many people, that is more than an inconvenience.

Seniors managing heating costs on a fixed income. Young families balancing rising expenses just to get to work. Students stretching a tank across classes and shifts. Rural communities where driving is not optional, and every cent-per-litre increase carries real weight.

In this province, fuel is not discretionary. It is part of how people live, work, and stay connected. And when prices shift without warning, it places real pressure on households already navigating rising costs.

But the insight people need to plan ahead is not missing — it is simply scattered.

It moves through conversations at the pumps, messages between neighbours, and quiet word-of-mouth from those closer to the supply chain. Some people hear early. Most do not.

This platform exists to change that.

I Heard Tell is a community-powered information network — built to share early signals, level access, and give everyone the same chance at a heads-up.

This is not about replacing official information. It is about strengthening community awareness in the space before official updates arrive.

Every report here is unverified and community-submitted. Over time, we track patterns, accuracy, and reliability — not individuals.

We do not collect names. We do not track personal data. We do not monitor behaviour.

What we build here is simple: A shared layer of awareness, owned by the people who use it.

We are not a regulator. We are not a news organization. We do not decide prices.

We reflect what the community is seeing and hearing — in real time.

Because sometimes, access to shared information is enough to help someone plan a little better, spend a little less, or avoid getting caught off guard.

No names. No tracking. Just shared knowledge.
