DOVER, Del. (AP) — Gas prices are up thanks to holiday travelers and ongoing turmoil in the Middle East.
That's according to AAA-Mid Atlantic, which says average prices were higher both nationally and across the Delaware Valley region, Delaware State News reported Sunday. In Delaware, gasoline cost $2.38 per gallon Friday, compared to $2.34 a week ago and $2.10 at the same time last year.
AAA said that while it expects gas prices to dip in the coming weeks as a decrease in demand for gasoline typically follows the holiday season, higher oil prices may stunt the drop.
