Those planning to drive to visit friends and family over the Thanksgiving weekend are getting a break on the price of gasoline.

The Nova Scotia Utilities and Review Board has used its weekly price adjustment to lower the minimum price for self-serve regular gasoline by 7.3 cents to $166.8.

The same, however, cannot be said of the diesel price.  Fuel price rose at midnight on Friday by 1.3 cents to $207.5.

At this time last year, Nova Scotians were paying $1.65 for gasoline and $2.13 for diesel.
