PITTSBURGH — Gas prices in Western Pennsylvania jumped 25 cents to an average of $2.834 per gallon this week, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.

Gas prices across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region continue to follow the trend of having some of the most expensive states in the country, with Pennsylvania ($2.87) and Washington, D.C. ($2.87) leading the way.

According to the latest Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, eastern gasoline supplies stood at 62.7 million barrels on the week. Even though gas supplies remain high across the country, prices continue to react to the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and distribution issues caused by flooding in the Gulf Coast. As pipelines and refineries return to their full operations in the region, prices should start to decrease later in the month.

The average price of unleaded self-serve gasoline in Bradford was $2.761, the lowest in the region, while Warren was at $2.767, Brookville at $2.848 and Erie at $2.793.
