Remember the late-April predictions that gasoline could hit $4 a gallon this summer? As we reported at the time, the AAA Mid-Atlantic motor club said whoa, hold on, relax, it's probably not going to happen. More likely would be prices closer to $3, So far, AAA was absolutely right. The group's daily reports this week on gas prices in the region indicate a trend toward lower costs. Here's what AAA found in its overnight survey of area service stations:
National regular unleaded average for a gallon: $3.13; Pennsylvania, $3.05; Delaware, $2.99; New Jersey, $2.94. In the five-county Philadelphia area, it was $3.10, and in South Jersey, $2.89.
