As the mercury climbs, regulated gas prices are falling.

News 95.7 is predicting a drop tonight of about two cents a litre, moving the price of regular self-serve to about $1.03 a litre in metro.

In New Brunswick, regulated gas and diesel prices fell by three cents a litre overnight.

The difference between gas prices in Halifax and Moncton is currently more than eight cents a litre – partly because of the two per cent HST increase in Nova Scotia last week.
