Both fuels dropped in price for the Oct. 23 adjustment, however, gas saw the bigger drop.
The cost for regular unleaded gasoline went down almost eight cents per litre while low sulfer diesel was decreased a bit more than two cents per litre.
For gas at pumps across Cape Breton Island, the price is now between 184.2-187.2 cents per litre .
In the Halifax area, the cost is now between 182.3-185.3 cents per litre.
Diesel costs between 269.7- 272.7 on Cape Breton and between 267.8-270.7 cents per litre.
This time last year, the price of diesel was roughly a dollar less per litre while the price of gas was about 50 cents less per litre.
On Oct. 25, 2025, the Nova Scotia Energy Board invoked the interrupter clause the day after the regular Friday price adjustment.
