Gas prices on the way up again in Nova Scotia.

That's according to Consumers for Fair Gas Prices' George Murphy who is expecting to see prices rise by about three cents per litre at midnight.

In a post to social media, Murphy writes that oil prices are rising this week on word that some countries in Europe may be soon opening their borders to travellers, which will increase demand.

Across the border in New Brunswick regulated prices jumped by 3.2 cents overnight to a new maximum price of 132.6.
