Gas prices falling across nation and state, but Pennsylvania drivers still paying more than others – By Brian C. Rittmeyer (Triblive) / Dec 12, 2022
Average gasoline prices are continuing to fall in Pennsylvania and across the nation, although the average in Pennsylvania is about 50 cents per gallon higher than the national average.
According to AAA, the national average Monday is about $3.26 per gallon. That’s about 14 cents less than a week ago, 52 cents less than a month ago and 7 cents less than a year ago.
But in Pennsylvania, the average is about $3.78 per gallon. That’s 10 cents less than a week ago and 32 cents less than a month ago, but about 21 cents more than a year ago.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at price-tracking service GasBuddy, says gas prices in mid-Atlantic and Northeast states are higher primarily because of a lack of refiners in the region
