Nova Scotians are waking up to find gas prices have increased for the second day in a row. A day after prices jumped about seven cents per litre, they've climbed again by about the same amount; in Halifax a litre of regular gasoline was sitting at a minimum of 119.9 cents. The price of diesel did not change. Gas prices are typically changed every Friday in this province and based on a seven-day average. However, the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board announced on Friday it would be invoking the interrupter clause, a provision that allows for sudden price adjustments in cases where there's a need for a significant change — typically of at least five cents per litre or more — in either direction.
