The price of gas rose by a penny in Delaware during the past week, according to a Monday report from Wilmington-based AAA MId-Atlantic.

The end of a gas war around Elkton, MD, affected gas prices in the Newark area, with prices up by several cents a gallon.

The price at the pump has hovered around $3 a gallon throughout the summer, about 75 cents higher than a year ago.

The region did not see the normal spike in prices when the Gulf Coast was hit by a hurricane, with prices remaining stable as Ida slammed Louisiana with remnants leading to flooding and hurricane damage in the Mid-Atlantic.

Crude oil prices rose above $70 a barrel in Monday morning trading on the NYMEX exchange.
