Pumping gas at station

The price of diesel increased in Nova Scotia Saturday.

The Nova Scotia Energy Board said it would use the interrupter mechanism to change the price of diesel oil at 12:01 a.m. due to “a significant shift in the market price.”

The price of diesel increased by 10.5 cents per litre. The new price of diesel is 240.3 cents. This comes after a 9.8-cent increase in the price of diesel Friday.

In Cape Breton, the price of diesel rose 10.6 cents to 242.3 cents per litre.

The price of gasoline was not affected by the change.
