The weekly adjustment to prices at the gas pumps in Nova Scotia brought another increase on Friday morning.

The minimum price for gasoline is up by 5.7 cents to 179.8.

But the focus this week continues to be on diesel. After another 8.9 cents increase on Friday prices have reached 236.3.

Since Tuesday the price for diesel is up a total of 34.6 cents.

This time last year we were paying $1.25 for gas, and $1.15 for diesel.
