Nova Scotians woke up Friday morning to lower prices for fuels.

The province’s Utilities and Review Board (UARB) used its weekly adjustment to lower the price of self-serve regular gasoline by 1.8 cents to a new minimum of 160.7.

The UARB also lowered the minimum price for diesel on Friday. The cost for fuel retreated by 1.5 cents to 162.3.

This time one year ago, Nova Scotians were paying 1.83 for gasoline and 1.99 for diesel.
