In Nova Scotia, filling up the tank will cost less after regulated prices fell on Friday.

The Nova Scotia Utilities and Review Board (UARB) used its weekly adjustment at midnight to lower the price for self-serve regular gasoline by 2.2 cents to a new minimum of 163.1

Diesel prices saw a much more significant drop. Fuel prices retreated by 4.5 cents to 191.4.

At this time, a year ago, we were paying 1.60 for gasoline and 1.99 for diesel.
