Gas prices are stable in Western Pennsylvania this week at $3.365 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.
Nationwide Trends:
There was very little movement at the pump this past week as gas prices remained steady at $3.13. The summer of lower pump prices continues, as the busy driving season nears its end. 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. Today’s national average is three cents less than a month ago and 29 cents less than a year ago.
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.
The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 36 cents.
