Gas prices are four cents lower in Western Pennsylvania this week at $3.381 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.
Nationwide Trends:
As drivers prepare to hit the road for Thanksgiving in record numbers, gas prices are relatively steady compared to last week. The national average for a gallon of regular has fallen a penny over the past week to $3.06. Despite the burst of gasoline demand that occurs during Thanksgiving week, overall demand is low this time of year which helps keep pump prices down. The national average has seen few fluctuations in 2025 thanks to low crude oil prices and no major storms affecting Gulf Coast refineries. Today’s national average is the same as a month ago but a penny more than a year ago.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand decreased from 9.02 million barrels per day last week to 8.52 million. Total domestic gasoline supply increased from 205.1 million barrels to 207.4 million. Gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.3 million barrels per day.
At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate fell $1.30 to settle at $59.44 a barrel. The EIA reports crude oil inventories decreased by 3.4 million barrels from the previous week. At 424.2 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 5% below the five-year average for this time of year.
The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 38 cents.
