No “drastic moves” are expected in the gasoline market in the near future, as crude oil prices and supply have remained steady and the busy summer driving season begins to wind down.

Indeed, prices around the region as well as state- and nationwide stayed mostly constant this week, with only a couple of exceptions. Those being a 3.9-cent decrease in Brookville, leaving average prices there barely over 3 dollars at $3.022 Monday, and a 10.5 cent jump in DuBois that sent averages there to $3.33 per gallon. Erie’s prices are unchanged this week at $3.355, according to AAA East Central’s regional reports.

Bradford saw a 1.2 cent decrease to $3.581, while Warren shed three-tenths of 1 cent to rest at $3.593 this week.

AAA representatives said in a press release, “The summer of lower pump prices continues … As we enter peak hurricane season, storms affecting gas production and distribution are something to keep an eye on. But right now, with crude oil prices remaining stable, there’s no indication gas prices will make any drastic moves.”

Western Pennsylvania prices decreased four-tenths of 1 cent to an average of $3.365 per gallon Monday. According to GasBuddy, the statewide average is down 2 cents to $3.21, while the national average ticked up a penny to $3.09 per gallon.

Diesel dropped about 2 cents per gallon to stand at a nationwide average of $3.671 this week. Public EV charging prices were unchanged again this week at 36 cents per kilowatt hour.

State- and nationwide, per GasBuddy, prices are unchanged and 4.6 cents less than a month ago and 33.6 cents and 27.9 cents less than a year ago, respectively.

“The national average is nearly unchanged from a week ago, with gasoline prices continuing to hover in the same territory where they’ve spent much of 2025 so far — in the low-$3-per-gallon range — as oil prices remain anchored in the $60s,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Price cycling markets once again led the biggest weekly price changes, with Ohio and Florida seeing a cycle and higher prices last week, while Michigan posted the largest drop and could be due for another jump in the cycle sometime this week. For the majority of motorists in non-cycling states, gas prices will likely remain near current levels as we head toward Labor Day. However, it’s worth watching developments around a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. If such an agreement materializes, it could send oil prices lower on expectations that sanctions against Russia might be eased, effectively boosting global oil supply.”

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand decreased from 9.04 million barrels per day last week to 9 million. Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 227.1 million barrels to 226.3. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.8 million barrels per day.

At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate fell 52 cents to settle at $62.65 a barrel. The EIA reports crude oil inventories increased by 3 million barrels from the previous week. At 426.7 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 6% below the five-year average for this time of year.
