Gas prices have taken a six-cent dip in Nova Scotia a day earlier than expected.

The Utility and Review Board sets gas prices every Friday, but is permitted to make unscheduled changes in the event of sudden and significant spikes in the market.

As of today, regular self-serve gas is selling for about $1.37 a litre in the Halifax area, down from about $1.43 a litre.

 The board will still make its weekly adjustment Friday.

The price of gas is also down in New Brunswick for the first time in seven weeks.

The maximum price for regular self-serve gas now rests at about $1.37 cents per litre — a three-cent drop over last week.

In this province, gas prices in St. John's dropped an average 3.3 cents today.

The average cost of regular unleaded gas in the city is now $1.41 a litre, while in Gander it's about $1.43 and Corner Brook, $1.42 a litre.

    Because Nova Scotians had a much bigger price drop than Newfoundlanders and Labradorians or even New Brunswicker, I think our PUB and New Brunswick's Energies and Utilities Board are screwing us. Even if Nova Scotia's Utility and Review Board sets prices based on the average New York Harbour Price between Friday and Thusday not counting weekends and holidays, and Newfoundland and Labrador uses the 7 day average including weekends, we should still get similar price decreases.
