Today begins a change in the day of the week for our gas price survey. I’m not sure that this will stay on Tuesday, but I know we’ve seen the last of Gas Price Monday. Bear with us while we find the most effective day of the week for this feature.

Gas prices are about 6 cents higher than they averaged a week ago. The average cash price for a gallon of regular grade from the 18 stations in town is $3.37, up from $3.31 last week.

The Gulf station at Route 35 and Allaire Road is today selling the cheapest gallon at $3.27. The Getty station on Route 34 at Allenwood is this week’s winner of the highest priced gallon at $3.52.
