Gas price decline continues as US production increases

Gas prices on the East Coast continued to fall over the past week as U.S. oil production increases, Wilmington-based AAA Mid-Atlantic reported.

The average gas price in Delaware dropped to $2.22 a gallon, a drop of eight cents below the previous week, but well above the dirt-cheap, $1.76 figure of a year ago.

The Capitol Trail-Kirkwood Highway area east of Newark continued to have the lowest prices at the pump with one station coming in at $2.10 a gallon.

The national average price of $2.28 per gallon represents a decrease of three cents per gallon on the week, two cents per gallon on the month, and an increase of 47 cents per gallon as compared to one year ago. The downward trend in pump prices is typical for winter months.

They would still make Billions....but they are too Greedy

There are apps for smart phones that show the best prices for fuel anywhere in the US. If 10 cents per gallon difference is a make or break difference to you, maybe you should get a vehicle with better mileage or a job providing more income. Avg. vehicle holds 15 gallons, so a $0.10 difference in price equals $1.50 more per tank. I bet most people spend more than that every day for a cup of coffee or soft drink and don't even get me started on the smokers with big 4 wheel drive trucks complaining how much it costs filler up.
