Nova Scotians woke up to lower fuel prices this morning.

The provincial regulator used its weekly adjustment to drop the price of regular self-serve gasoline to 174.2 — that’s a decrease of nearly 3 cents.

Meantime, diesel is seeing a drop in price by 3.5 cents to 177.2 cents per litre.

This time last year, the price of gas was 1.73 and diesel was 1.67.
