The province is heading into the weekend without an adjustment to the price of gas this morning.

The regulator did not make any changes to the price of regular self-serve gasoline in its weekly adjustment so it remains at 171.2 cents per litre.

Diesel, however, saw a slight move downward and dropped by 1.2 cents to now sit at 171.4 cents.

This time last year, Nova Scotians were paying 1.84 for gas and 1.88 for diesel.
