Delaware drivers got a break at the gas pump for the first time in a month last week.
AAA Mid-Atlantic reports the cost of a gallon of regular dropped four cents over the past seven days – from $2.13 to $2.09.
That’s comes after a 20-cent increase over the previous month.
And the number of stations charging less than two dollars a gallon is on the rise again according to Delawaregasprices.com. Just over a dozen stations around the state selling a gallon of regular at a $1,.99 or less – mainly in new Castle County.
The price is also 20 cents below the $2.29 Delaware drivers were paying a year ago.
Triple-A says with the summer driving season over - lower demand and the change to cheaper-to-produce winter blend gas will likely send prices lower over the next several months
The national average also fell three cents last week – from $2.21 to $2.18.
