For the first time this year, gas prices have dropped locally as well as across western Pennsylvania as a whole this week but only by a little.
According to AAA’s weekly gas price report, the average price for a gallon regular, unleaded, self-serve in Butler, as of Monday, eased to $2.75 per gallon which is a decrease of a penny since last week after increases of nine, 12, and 13 cents the last three weeks.
Prices also dropped by a penny to $2.72 per gallon across western Pennsylvania as a whole over the past week. The most affordable average price for gas in the area can be found in Latrobe at $ 2.40 per gallon, while the most expensive is $2.80 in Mercer and Sharon.
The average national gas price has risen by two cents over the last week to $2.42. AAA reports that even though demand for gas continues to decline, crude oil prices remain high which may result in increases at the pump.
