Are motorists paying more or less for gas this week?

Well, it depends on what type of fuel you are using.

The maximum for regular self-serve is down on Friday, 3.6 cents a litre to around $1.80.

Diesel and furnace oil, on the other hand, rose 1.9 cents.

These changes are part of the weekly price adjustments set by the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board.

The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board adjusts prices every Friday at 12:01 a.m.

In Nova Scotia, maximum regular self-serve prices range from about $1.78 to $1.82 per litre, while diesel is selling for between $2.11 and $2.15 per litre.

On Prince Edward Island, the maximum prices are $1.86 a litre for regular self-serve, more than $2.24 per litre for diesel and above $1.63 per litre for home heating oil.
