The price of diesel went down overnight after the Energy Board used its interrupter clause to change the price early this week.
Diesel dropped by 7.1 cents a litre and now goes for a minimum of $1.97 in Cape Breton.
The Energy Board says the early change was necessary because of a significant shift in the market price for diesel.
Meanwhile, the price of gas didn’t change.
The minimum price for a litre of gas on the Island is still $1.71.8 cents.
