There’s another jump at the pump in Nova Scotia.

The provincial regulator pushed the price for self serve regular gas up by 6.5 cents overnight.

As a result, gasoline will now cost 183.7 cents a litre.

Meantime, an even bigger hike on the diesel side with that fuel going up to 181 cents a litre.

That is an increase of eight cents.

Twelve months ago, Nova Scotians were paying $1.82 for gasoline, $1.81 for diesel.
