The price for gasoline did not change this week, as the provincial regulator announced its regular weekly adjustment.

The Nova Scotia Energy Board says the minimum price for regular, self-serve gasoline would remain at 139.4.

It’s a different story for diesel, which saw prices drop by 5.9 cents to a new minimum of 133.2.

This time last year, gas prices in the Halifax area were 179.4, and diesel prices were 175.4.
