Major Shift In PA Gas Prices Expected For Labor Day Weekend

EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA — As drivers get set to hit the road over the three-day Labor Day holiday weekend, gas prices are matching summer averages from four years ago, a travel agency reported.

Summer fuel prices have remained low, matching summer averages for 2021. As of Monday, the average price for a gallon of gasoline was $3.31 in Pennsylvania, compared to $3.52 last year.

AAA said gas prices have seen relatively few fluctuations this year, in large part because crude oil prices have remained steady. Barring a tropical storm or hurricane affecting Gulf Coast refineries,
Labor Day gas prices should remain below what they were last year, the auto club said.

Meanwhile, New Jersey is expected to see its lowest Labor Day gas prices in five years, said Patrick De Haan, Gas Buddy head of petroleum analysis.
