Nova Scotians are woke up to lower fuel prices this morning.

The Nova Scotia Energy Board lowered the price of a litre of regular self-serve to 131.5 cents, a drop of 4.5 cents.

In its weekly adjustment, the provincial regulator also decreased the cost of diesel by 3.4 cents to 162.7.

One year ago, we were paying 153.3 for gas and diesel was 171.2.
