Fuel prices in Nova Scotia are lower this morning after the provincial regulator made its weekly adjustment at midnight.

The Nova Scotia Utilities and Review Board (NSUARB) dropped the price for self-serve regular gas by 1.8 cents to a new minimum price of 155.3.

A much larger drop in the price for diesel—fuel prices falling 5.9 cents to 179.1.

Twelve months ago, we were paying 1.79 for gasoline and 1.88 for diesel.
