Gas Prices Nearly 50 Cents Lower Than Last Year

Low demand and lower prices for crude oil continue to drive gas prices downward, according to AAA’s fuel report.

In Pennsylvania, the average for a gallon of self-serve regular is $3.490 per gallon down 6.2 cents from a week ago.  

In the Lehigh Valley, the average price of self-serve gasoline is $3.459 per gallon, 6.3 cents lower than a week ago, 19.2 cents lower than a month ago and 46.6 cents lower than a year ago.

Locally, the cheapest price is $3.36 per gallon at Wawa, $3.38 at Giant and $3.40 at Weis in Palmer Township and $3.60 at the Giant on Sullivan Trail in Forks Township.
