Nova Scotia's maximum for self-serve regular is 194.6¢/L in Zone 1 as of October 2, 2026, with a floor of 191.7¢/L; diesel is capped at 268.5¢/L. That is −2.0¢ on the previous order (September 30).
The Nova Scotia Energy Board, which replaced the Utility and Review Board in April 2025, sets both a minimum and a maximum for six zones every Friday at 12:01 a.m. The spread between zones is small: 194.6¢/L to 196.6¢/L this week.
The cap includes a Clean Fuel Adjustor of 10.27¢ on gasoline, set by the board, plus 15.5¢ provincial fuel tax and 14% HST; the federal excise tax is suspended. The board has used its mid-week interrupter on 10 dates for regular so far in 2026.
