There’s been another big drop in gasoline and diesel prices.
The Nova Scotia Energy Board set prices for the two fuels overnight.
Gasoline fell by 9.7 cents a litre, while diesel plunged by 9.9 cents.
That’s on top of a 10.4 cent a litre drop in gasoline and 9.4 cents in diesel on Wednesday, when the board invoked the Interrupter Clause.
The price for a litre of gasoline ranges from $1.71.6 to $1.74.6 in the eastern mainland and Port Hawkesbury and $1.72.4 to $1.75.4 for the rest of Cape Breton.
For diesel, the price is now from $2.21.1 to $2.24.1 in the eastern mainland and Port Hawkesbury, and $2.21.9 to $2.24.9 for the remainder of Cape Breton.
