Bradford area motorists are paying an average of $2.497 a gallon for unleaded, self-serve gasoline this week, according to the American Automobile Association Fuel Gauge Report.
Elsewhere across the region, the average price for gas stands at $2.585 a gallon, down two cents from last week, AAA officials said. Nationwide, the average price for gas is $2.332 a gallon.
AAA officials said gas prices have fallen for nine consecutive days, reaching Monday’s average of $2.33 per gallon. Gasoline demand remains on track to set a new all-time high for the 2016 summer driving season, however, crude oil remains relatively less expensive than recent years; which is contributing to direct savings at the pump. Averages are down 46 cents per gallon versus this same date last year, attributed year-over-year surpluses, and these savings are likely to continue as supply appears more than capable of keeping pace with growing demand.
The following is a list of the average price of unleaded self-serve gasoline in various areas: $2.594, Altoona; $2.521, Brookville; $2.585, Clarion; $2.494, DuBois; $2.543, Erie; $2.557, Indiana; $2.676, Kittanning; $2.646, Meadville; $2.578, Pittsburgh; and $2.560, Warren.
