Drivers in New Brunswick may finally be getting a break at the pumps.

An industry source tells our newsroom that little or no change is expected in the prices for gasoline and diesel on Friday.

The reprieve comes after carbon-related hikes pushed up prices across the region this month.

The current maximum price in New Brunswick is $1.75 per litre, well above the national average of $1.59 per litre (according to CAA).
