Despite the unsettled conditions in the Middle East \u2014 on-again, off-again warfare \u2014 plus Ukraine\u2019s continuing attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, the average price of regular in the Philadelphia market continued its short downward trend in the week ending Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the wild ride continues. Iran is pushing back against a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and oil prices edged modestly higher in Sunday night trading, signaling that the recent relief may not last,\u201d said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. \u201cWith the Strait remaining closed, upward pressure on fuel prices could return quickly, and if things don\u2019t go well, the national average could climb to its highest level ever recorded this late in the calendar year. For now, enjoy the dip, but keep a close eye on how the Strait situation develops in the days ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

The average was down 12.5 cents per gallon to $4.10, 15.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and 90.2 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. The war-period high for the Philly market was $4.62.<\/p>\n

The $4.10 is second to $4.36 in 2022 for the date.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the GasBuddy locator to determine where you might get a better price than you\u2019re paying now: www.gasbuddy.com\/gasprices\/pennsylvania\/philadelphia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That Philadelphia market average includes some areas in Delaware and New Jersey where gas prices are historically cheaper. It also includes warehouse stores, where prices are typically cheaper.<\/p>\n

According to GasBuddy\u2019s number crunching, the cheapest station in Philadelphia was priced at $3.74 at the close of business on Sunday while the most expensive was $4.99.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re over the state line, it can\u2019t hurt to top off your tank: New Jersey was down 12.8 cents per gallon to $4.00 and Wilmington\u2019s price slipped 17.1 cents per gallon to $3.97.<\/p>\n

The national average price of gasoline was down 10.7 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.94 for the week ending Sunday.<\/p>\n

The national average is up 9.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and 85.6 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.\u00a0The national average price of diesel has decreased 5.1 cents compared to a week ago to $5.28 per gallon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAverage gasoline prices declined in 47 states over the last week while diesel fell in 39, with the national average price of gasoline posting a double-digit drop per gallon,\u201d De Haan continued. \u201cDiesel\u2019s decline was roughly half that of gasoline, in part due to continued pressure on refined product markets from ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite the unsettled conditions in the Middle East \u2014 on-again, off-again warfare \u2014 plus Ukraine\u2019s continuing attacks on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[212,182,139,28,69,71,70,210],"class_list":["post-262734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-delaware-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-top-stories-dtd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
