How to save more on gas in Wilmington

About gas prices in Delaware
Delaware's small size and density along Interstate 95 mean strong retail competition keeps gas prices below most of the Mid-Atlantic. The state gas tax is roughly 23 cents per gallon, lower than Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey. Wawa and Royal Farms are the dominant value-pricing convenience chains, with new locations opening regularly along I-95 and the coastal Route 1 corridor. Costco in Christiana and BJ's Wholesale in Wilmington draw membership-card customers from neighboring states. Delaware Memorial Bridge traffic from New Jersey often fills up in Delaware specifically to capture the lower tax rate.
