Gas prices are nine cents lower in Western Pennsylvania this week at $3.405 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.
Nationwide Trends:
With summer road trips in full swing, drivers are getting a break at the pump, as gas prices match July 2021 numbers. The national average for a gallon of gas dipped as low as $3.14 this past week before going up a penny to $3.15. It’s been four years since the national average has been this low during the summer. This season’s lower pump prices are due to an abundance of supply in the oil market. Halfway through the year, the national gas price comparison chart shows prices have remained steady in 2025 compared to recent years. Today’s national average is 37 cents less than a year ago.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand increased from 8.64 million barrels per day last week to 9.15. Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 232.1 million barrels to 229.5. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.9 million barrels per day.
At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate increased 5 cents to settle at $68.38 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories increased by 7.1 million barrels from the previous week. At 426 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 8% 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 36 cents.
