1 cent hike in average price for a gallon of regular in the Philly region overnight.
3.75 a gallon, price of a gallon of petrol in the Philly area, still one more all-time high. Anyone think we can hit $4 by Memorial Day?
4.63 a gallon for diesel fuel, which means that everything that is moved by truck costs more as well. That’s why your grocery bill also is going through the roof.
11 days until the start of the unofficial start of summer with the Memorial Day weekend, and shore areas are cleaning up from a nasty Nor’easter that pounded the East Coast yesterday.

Today we detail the guilty plea of a former provost at Lehigh University. The man believed he was coming to Delco for a sexual romp with a woman and her two young daughters.
