The average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline in western Pennsylvania increased by 23 cents over the past seven days.

The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in western Pennsylvania rose by 23 cents in one week. This increase places the region at $4.537 per gallon as of Monday, September 14.

Pennsylvania now ranks as the 10th most expensive gasoline market in the United States. The national average price for regular gas climbed by 16 cents during the same period.

Crude Oil Spikes Drive Costs

The highest average price recorded is $4.596 in Jeannette. The lowest average price is $4.415 in Sharon. Most other locations fall between $4.45 and $4.60.
