W. Pennsylvania Gas Prices Rise as Regional Inventory Continues To Grow

Gas prices in Western Pennsylvania are about a penny more expensive this week at $2.471 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.

State gas price averages are as much as a nickel more in some Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states on the week (Pennsylvania, +1 cent). However, more states saw gas prices decrease than increase.

With a two-million-barrel build, Energy Information Administration (EIA) data measures the region’s gasoline stocks at a staggering 68 million barrels. The large stock continues to minimize fluctuation at the pump.
