The Nova Scotia Energy Board set its weekly gasoline and diesel prices overnight.
Gas rose by 6.4 cents a litre. The price for a litre of regular self-serve unleaded ranges from $1.46.8 to $1.49.1 in the eastern mainland and Port Hawkesbury. For the rest of Cape Breton, it’s $1.47.6 to $1.49.9.
Diesel took another big jump overnight, rising 9.5 cents a litre. That’s in addition to a 6.3 cent increase on Wednesday, when the Energy Board invoked the Interrupter Clause. A litre of diesel goes from $1.57.5 to $1.59.8 in the eastern mainland and Port Hawkesbury. For the remainer of Cape Breton, it’s $1.58.3 to $1.60.6.
