Gas Cheaper Now Than Last Year

Pennsylvanians are paying an average of 11.5 cents less today for a gallon of gas than we paid at this time last year, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report.

The national average for a gallon in the state is now $3.698, down 2.5 cents from a week ago.

In the Lehigh Valley, gas prices dropped 2.4 cents a gallon to an average of $3.661. That’s about a dime less than last year’s prices.

The national average retail price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline is $3.692, down 1.1 cents from a week ago.

In Easton and Wilson, the cheapest price for regular—as of Wednesday morning—is $3.64 at the Turkey Hill on Morgan Hill Road or at the 25th Street Wawa.
