Gas prices decline across Philadelphia region as we head into holiday travel season
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — ‘Tis the season for lower gas prices.
“I appreciate these gas prices going down. I don’t know what happened lately but you know I’m digging it,” said Kylief Hannah of Camden.
Nationally and in the Philadelphia region, they’re going down.
According to AAA, Philadelphia’s average for a gallon of unleaded regular is $3.11, which is down 8 cents in a month.
South Jersey’s average is now $2.85, down 8 cents.
And Delaware’s average is $2.92, down 24 cents.
The national average is $3.07, down 13 cents from a month ago.
Experts from AAA say this is the time of year when we usually see a dip.
“We see the summer driving season come to an end. We see demand taper off and this year we’re seeing the price of crude oil go down,” said Jana Tidwell of AAA Mid-Atlantic.
On Tuesday, in Camden County, prices ranged from $2.67 to $2.99.
“Certain places you get $2.67, $2.68,” said Don Nelson, who owns a plumbing business.
His gas expenses for his trucks are like paying another employee, he says.
“I spend $55,000 a year on gasoline,” said Nelson.
Drivers in South Jersey say every little bit helps.
“Prices are going down for the better. So yes I am saving money,” said Gabriel Rosa of Camden.
Experts expect the trend to continue, barring any hurricanes that may interfere with refinery production, and there are typically little spikes as we near the holiday travel season.
Before we know it many people will be hitting the road for Thanksgiving and filling up.

The U.S. Coast Guard and multiple partner agencies are responding to a barge fire in Delaware Bay on Tuesday after a tug reported that the vessel it was towing had caught fire.
According to the Coast Guard, watchstanders at Sector Delaware Bay received a call at approximately 8:20 a.m. from the tug Douglas J, reporting that the barge under tow was on fire. The barge was reportedly carrying scrap metal.
Authorities are towing the burning barge to a position about two miles off Maurice River Cove, New Jersey, in an effort to move the incident away from the main shipping channel while firefighting operations continue.
The Coast Guard has established a safety zone and issued a Broadcast Notice to Mariners as crews work to contain the fire and reduce potential hazards to vessel traffic in the busy port complex. Multiple fire departments have deployed fireboats to assist with suppression efforts.
No injuries have been reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Responders from Coast Guard Station Philadelphia, Coast Guard Station Cape May, and Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City have been deployed to assist. Partner agencies on scene include the Wilmington Fire Department, Delaware City Fire Department, Philadelphia Fire Department, New Jersey Office of Emergency Management, and Delaware Emergency Management.
The incident follows another major barge fire in the Delaware Bay region in 2022, when a barge carrying scrap household appliances burned for approximately 26 hours in what officials described as the largest firefighting operation in Delaware state history.
Response operations for the current fire remain ongoing.
