Gas Prices Remain Steady this Week

In the last month, gas prices have jumped about 30 cents throughout Montgomery County, but this last week saw little change, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report.

The surge in gasoline prices has been driven somewhat by rising crude oil prices, but more directly, because of refinery maintenance issues. This has meant less gasoline being produced and fewer supplies, which has pushed prices higher.

Locally, the average price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Montgomery County is $3.779, up 2 cents since last week, 30.5 cents higher than a month ago and 4.5 cents higher than a year ago.

In Pennsylvania, the average price of self-serve gasoline is now $3.799 per gallon, up 2.6 cents since last week.

Nearby, the cheapest price for regular – $3.81 per gallon – is at the Shell Station at the intersection of East Butler Avenue and North Bethlehem Pike in Ambler, according to GasBuddy.com
