After several weeks of decreases, the price of fuel in Nova Scotia saw a slight jump overnight on Friday.

The provincial regulator moved the price of regular self serve gas up 0.8 cents to 152.6 at midnight.

Diesel also saw an increase of 1.5 cents pushing that price to 157.9 cents per litre.

This time last year, we were paying 1.88 for gas, 2.11 for diesel.
