Gas Prices Increase a Little

Gas prices in Western Pennsylvania are almost two cents more expensive this week at $2.469 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.

Pump prices across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states are making small jumps and decreases this week.

In Pennsylvania, gasoline is about a cent higher this week at $2.48 per gallon.

As demand remains low, gasoline stocks continued to grow this week adding 2.5 million barrels. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data shows stocks sit at a 7.6 million surplus year-over-year, which should help to keep increases minimal for the winter.
