In Halifax, regular self-serve gas climbs 7.1 cents to 182.9 cents per liter, while diesel rose 10.9 cents to 246.7 cents per liter. At hike in Nova Scotia, came from an interrupter clause triggered by wild market swings. Over in Cape Britain, gas hit 184.9 cents in diesel 248.6 cents per liter. Prince Edward Island saw even steeper moves during their Tuesday tweak, with gas up 8.2 cents to 194.8 cents, and diesel surging 13.8 cents to 256.3 cents per liter.
