Maritime Gas Prices Surge, Diesel Dips

0:00It's April 3rd, this is Vancouver News today, AI-powered stories from your city, I'm Cori with the story. Gas prices jumped overnight across the maritimes, hitting drivers with increases on regular self-serve fuel. In Halifax, Nova Scotia, it's a 4.2 cents to 187.1 cents per liter. New Brunswick saw a 3.1 cent hike to 186.9 cents, while Prince Edward Island climbed 3 cents to 1, 198.3 cents. Cape Breton in Nova Scotia follows close behind at 189 cents for gas. These changes come from the usual weekly adjustments by the region's utility boards, keeping things steady but noticeable at the pump. For everyday folks, this means a bit more cash out of pocket for commutes and road trips, especially with summer travel picking up. Diesel users get some relief though, as prices dipped in spots. Fuel and Halifax dropped 3 cents to 243, 0.7 cents per liter.
