The Week
After a busy holiday weekend on the roadways, gas prices throughout the region have seen very little change. New Jersey and the Philadelphia 5-county region saw an increase of a penny over the last week, while Delaware saw an increase of three cents. According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand showed a slight increase last week as well as a drop in gasoline supply. However, an increase in crude oil supply may be holding prices steady at the pump.
Today’s national gas price average is $2.19, up a penny in the last week, up 12 cents in the last month and down 56 cents from this time last year.
