We’re expecting a break in gas prices for the long weekend.

News 95.7 is predicting a drop of about a penny a litre when regulated prices are reset tonight.

Regular self-serve is going for $1.05.3 in metro.

In New Brunswick, regulated prices actually went up overnight by about a penny. Gas is still selling for less than a dollar a litre in Saint John.

At this time last year, we were paying 99.4 cents a litre for gas in Halifax.
