Carbon Tax is gone as of Tuesday + trend of 2025 gas prices

As of Tuesday, April 1, the Carbon Tax will be removed from gas and diesel. The Carbon Tax adds approximately 17.6 cents/liter.

(the HST will also drop in Nova Scotia on Tuesday, down to %14)

A drop of almost 18 cents in the price of a liter of gas is not a bad thing certainly, but prices in 2025 have been trending upward so far:

Jan 2 up 5.5
