Bradford area motorists are paying an average of $2.395 a gallon for unleaded, self-serve gasoline this week, according to the American Automobile Association Fuel Gauge Report.
Elsewhere across the region, the average price for gas stands at $2.414 a gallon, AAA officials said. Nationwide, the average price for gas is $2.210 a gallon.
AAA officials said this week’s average price for regular unleaded gasoline is one cent cheaper than one week ago, the same price compared to one month ago and three cents more than the same date last year. National gas prices have now dropped for six consecutive days, but the usual seasonal decline has stalled as prices have remained roughly the same since early September.
Pump prices in much of the Midwest have steadied since last week. Prices moved slightly up or down across much of the Great Lakes states, including Ohio, which is up by a cent. Refinery issues continue to impact prices in Pennsylvania. AAA officials said drivers should begin to see some relief in the coming weeks as refinery maintenance wraps up.
