If you drive a diesel powered vehicle, you will be paying more at the pump today.
The Nova Scotia Energy Board invoked the Interrupter Clause overnight to raise the price of diesel by 6.7 cents a litre. The energy board says the price change is necessary due to significant shifts in the marketplace. The NSEB monitors the markets for gasoline and diesel oil daily and should conditions warrant, may set a new price at any time.
The price of a litre is diesel is now $1.75.2 to $1.77.5 in the eastern mainland and Port Hawkesbury. For the rest of Cape Breton, it’s $1.76 to $1.78.3.
The price of gasoline is unchanged.
