PITTSBURGH — Gas prices in Western Pennsylvania went up a penny, increasing slightly to $3.113 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.
Gas prices are mostly flat across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region with eight states seeing two to one cent pump price drops while seven states’ gas price averages held flat on the week, including Pennsylvania.
Pump prices and inventories remained relatively flat at 64 million oil barrels on the week, according to the latest Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) data available. Total inventory levels are on par with levels this time last year. If they tighten, prices would likely increase.
The average price of unleaded self-serve gasoline in Bradford was $3.144; in Brookville, $3.139; in DuBois, $3.068; in Erie, $3.108; and in Warren, $3.139.
