Drivers are paying more to fill up their tanks in Nova Scotia on Friday morning.

The Nova Scotia Utilities and Review Board (NSUARB) raised the price of gasoline by 3.3 cents to 166.2 with its weekly adjustment.

Diesel prices also increased for a second time this week. After using the interrupter clause on Wednesday to raise diesel prices by 6 cents, the provincial regulator raised the minimum price for diesel by another 4.1 cents to 1.97.

At this time last year, we were paying 1.55 for gas and 1.93 for diesel.
