The new maximum price is $1.50 per litre, an increase of just over seven cents.

Tuesday’s increase followed a 2.5-cent jump during the regular weekly setting early Friday.

Gasoline prices were not impacted by the interrupter clause on Tuesday.

Regular self-serve is selling for a maximum of $1.42 per litre.

Meanwhile, Nova Scotia’s provincial regulator also used the interrupter clause overnight.
