PITTSBURGH — The average price of gasoline across Western Pennsylvania is a penny cheaper this week at $2.433 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.
The average price of unleaded self-serve gasoline in Bradford is $2.2497; Brookville, $2.468; in DuBois, $2.448; Erie, $2.481; and Warren, $2.499.
On the week, the national gas price average held steady at $2.18, as most state averages saw minimal changes. Apart from a few states — Florida (+10 cents), Utah (+10 cents) and Idaho (+5 cents) — averages either decreased by less than four cents or increased by no more than two pennies.
Gas prices are trending cheaper despite an increase in demand. Up 3% over last week, gasoline demand measured at 8.8 million b/d — the highest reading since the pandemic started. However, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), year-over-year demand is down about 8%.
