June 25, 2026/Joe Ciccanti

Drivers are continuing to see relief at the pump as the national gas price average declines for the fifth consecutive week. Today’s national average is $3.91 per gallon. Crude oil prices have also continued to fall as the U.S. and Iran work toward a long-term deal. Despite lower prices, demand could rise as a record number of Americans prepare to travel for Independence Day weekend, with 85% planning to drive to their destinations.  The Delaware gas price average is $3.75 today, down five cents in the last week and 50 cents higher than one year ago. The South Jersey gas price average is $3.87 today, down eight cents in the last week and up 70 cents compared to one year ago. The national average cost of electricity at public EV charging stations held steady this week at 41 cents per kilowatt hour, while in Delaware the average cost remained the same at 38 cents.

The Weekend

“After weeks of volatility, gas prices across the region are showing signs of stability despite ongoing uncertainty in global energy markets,” said Jana Tidwell, spokesperson for AAA Club Alliance. While recent geopolitical tensions caused oil prices to spike, crude has since retreated, helping to ease pressure on prices at the pump. As millions of drivers prepare for summer road trips, motorists are benefiting from a market that has remained more resilient than many expected.”
