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.

How to safely shovel snow
The Mayo Clinic has some tips for safely shoveling snow.
Saturday is the winter solstice, and parts of Delaware have already had a small, but still measurable, amount of snowfall.
For the first time since Feb. 17, 2024, measurable snowfall was reported in Delaware to the National Weather Service. Community reports of 0.1 inches of snow outside of Newark and in Smyrna are on the board after a storm brought rain and snow to the First State. That is the smallest amount of snowfall that can be recorded.
Wilmington last received measurable snowfall on that February date, but received only a trace Friday night. Parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey saw more than 5 inches from the same system.
Winter starts with cold snap
The storm ushered in dangerously cold air that will grip the Northeast for the weekend.
The temperatures are not so extreme that advisories will be issued, but it is not a good idea to stay outside for very long, said National Weather Service meteorologist Amanda Lee in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
On the night of Dec. 21, temperatures will dip, according to the weather service:
- 17 degrees in Wilmington
- 16 degrees in Dover
- 17 degrees in Georgetown
The overnight of Dec. 22 will be chillier, with temperatures dipping past the teens and wind chills in the single digits. It could plunge to:
- 10 degrees in Wilmington
- 10 degrees in Dover
- 9 degrees in Georgetown
