Gasoline prices fell an average 2 cents per gallon in South Jersey over the weekend, but failed to budge in southeastern Pennsylvania, AAA Mid-Atlantic said today.
The South Jersey average this morning was $2.91 per gallon, while the Philadelphia average held at $3.13, the auto club said.
A year ago, the prices were $2.15 in South Jersey and $2.41 in Philadelphia, according to AAA. Gasoline taxes account for most of the difference between the state prices.
Crude oil prices, meanwhile, rose today in choppy trading, reflecting contrasting concerns about political tension in the Middle East and worries that a possible U.S. recession could curb oil demand, the Associated Press reported.
After opening lower, light, sweet crude for February delivery rose 7 cents to $92.76 a barrel by noon in European electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
