The Week
Pump prices around the region saw a variety of moves this week. New Jersey and the Philadelphia 5 county region remain unchanged week-over-week, while Delaware saw a two cent increase. The Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) latest report shows gas demand fell last week. Decreasing demand for gasoline has helped pump prices to decrease in some areas in the last week. If demand continues to drop, pump prices could push cheaper in the coming week.
Today’s national gas price average is 2.18, down two cents in the last week, up three cents in the last month and down 57 cents from this time last year.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, nj – In keeping with American flag etiquette, the stars and stripes will be raised to full staff for a moment before being lowered to half-staff on Monday once again, July 27th at 8:30am to recognize Korean War Veteran Armistice Remembrance Day.
That action is being taken in response to a request made by Councilman Jon Crowley in response to a query from a local resident at Wednesday’s meeting of the Borough Council.
The American flag on all government buildings in the state of New Jersey has been flying at half-staff in honor of Georgia Congressman John Louis, since his death July 17 at age 80. Although American flag etiquette dictates a flag be flown at half-staff for one day at the death of a Congressman, Governor Murphy issued an executive order to have flags remain at half-staff until the day of internment for the late Congressman. The Governor of Georgia, which Louis represented in Congress, and New Jersey, were the only two states where Governors ordered flags lowered from his day of death until his day of burial.
