Gas prices have jumped once again both locally as well as across western Pennsylvania as a whole this week.
According to AAA’s weekly gas price report, the average price for a gallon regular, unleaded, self-serve in Butler, as of Monday, increased by four cents to $3.28 per gallon.
The average gas price across western Pennsylvania as a whole increased by a nickel over the past week to reach $3.29. The most affordable average price for gas in the area can be found in Altoona at $3.20 per gallon, while the most expensive is $3.36 in Oil City.
The average national gas price rose by a penny over the past week to $3.14 as a result of a new record high in gasoline demand. AAA expects the price of crude oil to continue as the main variable in how high prices will go the rest of the summer.
