The average for regular in the Philadelphia market was down 2.7 cents per gallon to $3.12 for the week ending with Sunday.<\/p>\n

GasBuddy crunches the numbers of 979 spots to fuel up in the Philadelphia market and comes up with the average price.<\/p>\n

The market includes sections of Wilmington and New Jersey, where prices are nearly always lower than Pennsylvania. The average also includes the Costco, Sam\u2019s and BJ\u2019s stores in the region, where it\u2019s nearly always cheaper than your corner Wawa and other convenience stores.<\/p>\n

The $3.12 per gallon is 18.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and 40.7 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.<\/p>\n

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in the Philadelphia market was $2.82 on Sunday, down 7 cents from a week ago, and the most expensive was unchanged at $3.95, a difference of $1.13.<\/p>\n

The $3.12 per gallon is the fifth highest price for a July 27 behind $4.50, $3.85, $3.53 and $3.27 in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2021, respectively. No. 6 is $3.05 from 2018, and that\u2019s the only other average at $3 or higher.<\/p>\n

There were similar downturns in adjoining areas, with the New Jersey average down 2.8 cents per gallon to $3.00, and in Wilmington, down 2.3 cents to $2.95.<\/p>\n

The national average price of regular increased 1.6 cents per gallon in the past week to $3.10, off 6.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and 37.5 cents from a year ago, according to GasBuddy.<\/p>\n

And, the national average price of diesel increased 1.6 cents in the past week to $3.71 per gallon. The diesel average has seen a few weeks of small increases.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been another relatively quiet week for average gas prices, with most states seeing modest or slight declines, while a handful of price cycling states experienced the most noticeable fluctuations,\u201d said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. \u201cOil prices continue \u2026 in the mid-to-upper $60s, and with gasoline demand starting to ease as we head into August, we could see prices gradually decline as we approach Labor Day. That said, this is also the time of year when the tropics begin to stir, so we\u2019ll be keeping a close eye on hurricane activity that could disrupt supply and shift the outlook.\u201d<\/p>\n
