Gasoline, diesel prices soar after big increase Friday
Posted Mar 4, 2022 09:17:37 AM.
Gas prices are soaring on Friday morning in Halifax.
The provincial regulator has moved the minimum price for self serve regular up by 10.1 cents to a new record high of 166.6.
The news is much worse for those needing diesel, with that fuel up by a whopping 17.2 cents at midnight to 183.7, also a record.
This is the second increase in the price for diesel this week after the UARB used the interrupter clause mid-week to raise the diesel prices. Just one week ago diesel prices were set at 160.0.
One year ago we were paying $1.24 for gasoline and $1.16 for diesel.
