First state gas prices plateau

Delaware Public Media

Delaware drivers won’t see much as much savings at the gas pump as they’ve been used to this week.

 

 

The average price for a gallon of regular didn’t budge over the past seven days, ringing in at $2.18 according to Triple-A Mid-Atlantic. Where drivers will see savings is compared to how much they were shelling out a year ago – on average $3.22 a gallon.

 

Typical prices across the country stalled as well, with the U-S average closing at $2.29.

 

Those wanting to save the most will have to trek to Elsmere according to Delawaregasprices.com, where two gas stations report selling a gallon of regular for $2.03.

 

Much of the cheapest gas in the First State is also in New Castle County.

 

Triple-A Mid-Atlantic says barring major supply disruptions, drivers might see $2.00 for a gallon of regular before the end of the year – the first time since 2009.
