Drivers are digging deeper into their pockets to fill up their tanks in Nova Scotia on Friday morning.

The provincial regulator has moved the minimum price for self-serve regular up by 4.8 cents to 141.6.

The news is worse for diesel. Fuel prices have jumped by seven cents to a new minimum price of $1.39.

One year ago we were paying 95 cents for gas and 86 cents for diesel.
