Gas Prices Edge Downward, But Still Frustrate Delmarvans

Don Rush

The national average for a gallon of gas has hit $3.67.

That’s down slightly by 4 cents.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg says the dip is due to an increase in output from Libya and Iraq’s production being substantially unharmed by recent violence.

Still going into Independence Day it was a penny higher making it the highest since 2008.

And Delmarvans express their frustration at the pump in Salisbury:

Last week in Salisbury gas was 10 cents cheaper than it was in Washington DC.
