After several weeks of a downward trend, the average price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Pennsylvania is $3.533, up 4.2 cents from a week ago. This rise, however, is less than half of the nearly 14-cent increase during the same period last year, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report. Prices have risen largely because of higher crude oil prices. Locally, gas prices rose 3.7 cents in the Bucks and Montgomery Counties over the week, which is 2.1 cents higher than last month and 1.8 cents lower than a year ago. The national average price of a gallon of self-serve regular is $3.364, up 5.4 cents, while the average locally is $3.492. In Newtown, the cheapest price for regular is $3.69 at Kerrigan's Sunoco.

The average price of self-serve regular in Bucks and Montgomery rose about 2.1 cents since last week, which is still 13.3 cents lower than last month but 12.6 cents higher than last year, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report. The price per gallon nationally is also up – by about 4.4 cents – since last week. The national average price of gasoline in 2012 was $3.60 a gallon, which was the most expensive annual average on record. The previous annual record was $3.51 a gallon set in 2011, while the third most expensive year for gas prices was 2008, when the average was $3.25 a gallon. While the “fiscal cliff” deal in Washington could pressure gasoline prices higher to begin 2013, it is unlikely that this increase would be on par with a year …

The average price of self-serve regular in Pennsylvania dropped nearly 10 cents in a month, and about four cents since last week, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report. In the Bucks and Montgomery Counties, the average price of a gallon is $3.601, which is 3.5 cents lower than a week ago, 9.7 cents lower than a month ago and 24.7 cents higher than a year ago. While national retail gas prices have declined each day during the past week, crude oil prices have increased slightly, as market attention has focused on the impact of the looming U.S. fiscal cliff, the report states. That means though gas prices usually decline this time of year, the economic uncertainty has slowed that decline. Locally, the cheapest price for regular is $3.69 at the…

The average price of self-serve gasoline is $3.685, down 22.4 cents from a month ago and 21.7 cents higher than a year ago. After Hurricane Sandy, there continues to be a distribution problem and not a systemic issue with gasoline supplies in New York and New Jersey. There is plenty of gasoline ready to make its way to stations, but it has to get there first. Once this distribution gets fully back online, AAA expects pump prices in affected areas to follow the rest of the country lower. AAA predicts that the national average price will be $3.25 to $3.40 by Thanksgiving and $3.10 …

The see-saw gas prices saw an overall 3.5-cent increase in the United States last week, but a very slight drop locally, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report. In the Bucks and Montgomery Counties, the average price for self-serve regular unleaded gasoline is $3.927 per gallon, which is .2 cents lower from a week ago, 7.9 cents higher than a month ago and 44.4 cents higher than a year ago. This skewing of national prices started last week in California, the report states, when the average price for a gallon in that state hit $4.671. Low supplies, plus a power outage at an Exxon refinery prevented it from producing gas, caused that nearly 50-cent hike. Crude oil prices, however, continues to drop as global demand weakens. Locally, the …
