Gas Prices Drop Ever So Slightly

Find the cheapest gas in Warminster.

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 Montgomery and Bucks 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.

Gas Prices Drop a Nickel

Gas prices tend to fall from September through Christmas, the AAA said.

Gas prices dropped an average of 6.3 cents in Pennsylvania and 4.5 cents in Bucks and Montgomery counties from a week ago, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report. Nationally, the average price of self-serve gasoline is $3.810, down 4.9 cents from last week. Historically, gas prices tend to fall from September through Christmas. AAA expects this trend, which has held true for seven of the previous nine years, to continue in 2012 and predicts that the national average price will continue to fall as we approach the end of the year. For the last several months, rising global crude oil prices have contributed to high gas prices, but that trend has recently reversed.

Gas Prices Jump 7.7 Cents Since Last Week

Find the cheapest gas in Warminster.

Fuel prices dropped in early spring, and for the last 100 days gas prices have been cheaper than they were last year, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report. In this last week, however, the national average price for gasoline surpassed last year’s cost. In the Bucks and Montgomery area, gas went up 7.7 cents since last week and about 26 cents since last month. That works out to 7.3 cents higher than last year at this time.             How do higher gas prices affect your spending? Prices at the pump have been broadly driven by higher global crude oil prices, due to mixed news for the global economy tensions with Iran, the report states. A favorable jobs report recently also indicated more people are getting jobs now. More employment means …

After a slight drop in the last week of July, gas prices increase about 8 cents in the first week of August.

In the Montgomery and Bucks and area, the average price for self-serve regular unleaded gasoline is $3.701 per gallon, which is 7.6 cents higher than a week ago, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report. In the last week of July, prices dropped about 1 cent per gallon, but the report indicates that prices for crude oil moved above $90 a barrel after a positive U.S. jobs report on Friday.
