Provincial regulator lowers price of gas, diesel in N.S.

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.
