Gasoline prices in Halifax took a slight jump overnight.

The provincial regulator moved the minimum price for self-serve regular gas up by 2.6 cents to $161.7.

However, diesel prices decreased overnight, with the price for that fuel dropping by 3.5 cents at midnight to $199.2.

Twelve months ago, we were paying $1.73 for gasoline, and $2.62 for diesel.
