Delaware drivers are still feeling the effect of Colonial Pipeline leak in Alabama.
AAA Mid-Atlantic reports the cost of a gallon of regular jumped another four cents over the past seven days – from $2.15 to $2.19.
That’s a 10-cent surge in the past two weeks since the pipeline was forced to close earlier this month.
The pipeline reopened Wednesday after repairs were completed – and AAA believes that will lead to prices retreating in the near future.
For now, First State motorists are paying exactly what they were a year ago when the average price was also $2.19.
And according to Delawaregasprices.com, there are no stations offering a gallon of regular for $2 or less. There are just over a dozens with prices at $2.05 or lower.
The national average rose a penny last week – from $2.20 to $2.21.
