There was no change in the price of gasoline heading into the long weekend.

The Nova Scotia Utilities and Review Board decided to leave the minimum price for self-serve regular gasoline at 163.8 cents per litre for a second consecutive week.

There was a small increase in the price of diesel, rising by 0.7 cents to 192.6 cents per liter.

Twelve months ago, we were paying 1.64 for gasoline and 1.99 for diesel.
