Nova Scotia drivers will pay a little more for gas for the next week.

The N.S. Utility and Review Board increased regulated gas prices by 0.9 cents overnight. Drivers in Metro Halifax are now paying  $1.26.3 for a litre of regular self-serve.

One year ago, we were paying slightly less at $1.24.9.

The price of diesel had a more significant drop. It’s down 3.1 cents a litre and is selling for  $1.30.8 in the Halifax area.
