Gasoline prices have dropped another 4.4 cents across Western Pennsylvania.
The average cost of a gallon of unleaded self-serve dipped to $2.672 this week, from 2.716 a week ago, according to a report Monday from AAA East Central.
This is the ninth consecutive week the cost has dropped across the region, totaling 46.4 cents. The new average is 11.4 cents below the price of a year ago.
Washington’s pricing was a good/bad mix for the fourth consecutive week. The average here fell another 5.5 cents to $2.734, from $2.789. But that is the third-highest average among 22 Western Pennsylvania cities and towns listed by AAA. Only Warren ($2.803) and Brookville ($2.763) are higher. New Castle ($2.433) has the lowest average, followed by Altoona ($2.562).
Pennsylvania’s average dropped by four cents to $2.65, while the nationwide figure fell four more cents to $2.42 – the lowest this year, and four cents cheaper than at this time in 2017.
Gasoline stocks remained about 61 million barrels in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region, which includes Pennsylvania. That is about 3 million more than at this time last year.
