The $3.20 per gallon was tied for fourth highest price for the date with 2021, and both were behind $4.72, $3.67 and $3.62 from 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

The next lowest was $3.08 in 2018.

Adjoining areas were down as well: New Jersey, off 3.8 cents to $3.06 per gallon, and Wilmington, down 10.2 cents to $3.02.

The national average price increased 2.0 cents per gallon in the past week to $3.11, which is down a half cent from a month ago and 37.9 cents per gallon lower than a year ago, according to GasBuddy.

The national average price of diesel increased 3.2 cents over the week to $3.68 per gallon.

“With oil prices posting a modest uptick last week, the national average price of gasoline also inched slightly higher, with just over half of U.S. states seeing increases, while nearly two dozen saw declines,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “As we approach the midpoint of the summer driving season, gasoline inventories remain just below average, while diesel inventories are considerably tighter, keeping upward pressure on diesel prices. While renewed tariff discussions could weigh on oil markets due to concerns about economic growth, absent any major developments, we expect the national average to remain rangebound in the low-$3 per gallon area, where it has spent much of the summer.”
