Fuel prices are expected to go up Thursday night

It may be a good idea to fuel up at the pumps today as prices jump up at midnight.

Industry sources say regular gasoline is expected to go up 10.5 cents at midnight to around $1.78 a litre.

They say diesel fuel will raise less in price by 0.4 of a cent to around $2.07 per litre across Nova Scotia.

These price raises come just days after the Canadian government removed the federal fuel excise tax until Labour Day.

That adjustment was meant to give relief by reducing gasoline by 10 cents per litre and diesel fuel by four cents per litre.
