Gas Prices Fall Slightly

At the Wawa on Ridge Avenue, prices went down eight cents per gallon.

We surveyed the gas stations in our Patch this morning to get a reading on fuel prices, and for the second time in as many weeks return with good news.

Price changes varied station to station, but on balance, area fuel prices have dropped in the last week. The main driver of this drop was the Wawa on 6608 Ridge Avenue, where prices fell eight cents per gallon.

As for the moment,  the cheapest place to purchase gasoline within our Patch is the aforementioned Wawa, where regular unleaded is available for $3.96 (and if you're willing to pay in cash, the US station at 7728 Ridge is only two cents behind).
