AAA: Western Pa. Sees Slightly Higher Gas Prices
Gas prices are up slightly in western Pennsylvania this week.
AAA reports the average price at $3.62 per gallon, two cents higher than last week. Nationally, gas prices are trending down, with the average at $3.15 per gallon—three cents lower than last week.
Experts say softer demand and lower crude oil prices could mean cheaper gas as summer approaches. Meanwhile, electricity costs for public EV charging remain steady at 34 cents per kilowatt hour.
The Energy Information Administration says gasoline demand rose slightly last week, while domestic supply dropped by two million barrels. Crude oil inventories increased by half a million barrels but remain 6% below the five-year average. West Texas Intermediate crude closed at $62.47 a barrel, up $1.14.
With summer travel on the horizon, drivers may see some relief at the pump in the coming weeks, according to AAA.
