How much was your last fill-up at the gas pump? Chances are your next one is going to cost more. alecia__reid spoke with drivers who reacted to the record-high gas prices we’re seeing in the Philly region.
In the Philadelphia five-county area, gas is going for $5.01 per gallon. In New Jersey, it costs $4.88 and $4.79 in Delaware.
“You just have to make due and you have to live. You still have to do what you got to do. You just do it more economically, that’s all,” George Atkins, of Northern Liberties, said.AAA attributes the expensive gas prices to increased crude oil prices due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a shortage in oil supplies, and increased demand. Not everyone has the luxury of cutting back.
“My daughter in-law is in the hospital on life support, so she’s down in Chester at Crozer, so I’m back and forth every day,” Jesse Hugee, of Mount Airy, said. As prices continue to inch higher, AAA suggests staying on top of your vehicle maintenance, carpooling, staying within the speed limit, and cleaning out your trunk.MORE NEWS:
