Nova Scotia gas prices drop by a nickel overnight

If you waited till Thursday to fill up your car, you saved yourself a bit of cash.

The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board, which regulates fuel prices in the province, used its interrupter clause overnight to push the price of self-serve regular gas down by five cents a litre.

In Zone 1, which includes the Halifax area, the price is now 183.3 cents. In Cape Breton, the highest of the six price zones, the cost is 185.3.

Diesel prices were unaffected.
