JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — Pennsylvania ranks among the top 10 states with the current highest average regular gas price, an American Automobile Association survey shows.
AAA.com says the national gas price average as of Wednesday is $2.866, which is about 10 cents higher than a year ago.
Meanwhile Pennsylvania currently has the eighth highest gas price average at $3.026, according to AAA.
California has the highest gas price average at $4.037 with Alabama having the lowest at $2.509.
“On the week, 30 states saw pump price increases or decreases of three cents or less which helped keep the national average relatively steady, but motorists shouldn’t get their hopes up just yet,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “Gasoline stocks nationwide continue to tighten, measuring below levels compared to the same time in the past three years. While imports are helping and West Coast refinery maintenance is nearly finished for the time being, it’s too early to know if this is enough to keep state averages from leveling off just yet.”
Pennsylvania has the highest tax percentage in the nation which is 46 percent above the national average.
