Bradford motorists are paying an average of $2.297 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 $2.422 a gallon, a decrease of a penny from last week. AAA officials said the national average price for gas is $2.17 a gallon; the price has dropped for the last 10 days.
AAA officials said the abundance of crude oil in the global market is contributing to lower prices, and as a result, retail averages are the same price as compared to one year ago. Historically, gasoline demand tends to decline during the month of November, and with the autumn refinery maintenance season nearing completion, pump prices are expected to move lower to close out the year, barring any unanticipated outages or supply disruptions.
The following is a list of the average price of unleaded self-serve gasoline in various areas: $2.485, Altoona; $2.432, Brookville; $2.436, Clarion; $2.368, DuBois; $2.358, Erie; $2.498, Indiana; $2.485, Kittanning; $2.404, Meadville; $2.428, Pittsburgh; and $2.496, Warren.
