Gas prices in western Pennsylvania continue to sink both regionally and locally over the last week.
According to AAA’s weekly gas price report, the average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded, self-serve in Butler, as of Monday, is $2.67 per gallon which is seven cents cheaper compared to last week.
Prices dropped by five cents across western Pennsylvania as a whole this week, averaging $2.71 per gallon. The cheapest gas in the area can be found in Sharon at $2.47 per gallon, while the most expensive is $2.89 in Warren.
The average national gas price dropped by four cents to $2.47, which is 11 cents less than the beginning of the year. Decreasing demand for gas combined with increasing stocks continue to keep prices low. Crude oil prices declined again due to ongoing concerns about the affect of the coronavirus on global travel.
