Drivers have to dig a little deeper in their pockets to pay for a fill-up at the pumps this morning. They're up almost a nickel this morning in metro Halifax to 126.8 cents a litre. Motorists can expect to pay a little more elsewhere in the province. The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board set the new price at midnight Thursday. The increase comes just a week after prices dropped almost seven cents a litre. The cost of diesel also rose to just over $1.23 a litre, up from last week's low of $1.20 a litre.
