We’re expecting a small increase at the pumps tonight.

News 95.7 is predicting regulated gas prices will go up by about a penny and possibly a little more.

That will move the price of regular self-serve to $1.06 a litre in metro.

In New Brunswick, regulated prices went up by less than a penny overnight.

Regular self-serve is going for a maximum price of $1.02.3, though most stations sell for a few cents less.

In Toronto unregulated prices are hovering around a dollar a litre.
