Gasoline and diesel prices are both expected to jump considerably on Thursday night.

The price for regular self-serve will increase around 6.5 cents per litre, according to the source.

Diesel users will see the maximum price jump by close to seven cents per litre.

Currently, New Brunswickers are paying a maximum of $1.58 per litre for regular self-serve, $2.03 per litre for diesel, and $1.75 per litre for home heating oil.

In Nova Scotia, regular self-serve ranges from $1.58 to $1.62 per litre while diesel is selling for between $1.92 and $1.96 per litre.
