HARRISBURG – Average gasoline prices in Pennsylvania are unchanged in the last week, averaging $3.62/g today, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 5,269 stations in Pennsylvania.
The national average price of diesel has risen 0.1 cents in the last week and stands at $3.80 per gallon.
The national average price of gasoline has risen 3.4 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.53/g today.
“With oil prices rising to $75 per barrel last week, the highest level in months, the national average price of gasoline saw similar upward pressure, with a little over half of the nation’s states seeing gas prices rise last week,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While the price increases could continue into this week, I would expect them to be fairly mild, with the national average likely staying in the $3.50-$3.60 range that we’ve been stuck in since April for the coming week and likely into next week as well. Economic data has been playing a larger than typical role in putting pressure on gas prices, with OPEC production cuts also a major factor.”
