Gas Prices Drop

January 27, 2026 4:55 am

Another drop in gas prices.  AAA says they are five-cents lower this week here in Western Pennsylvania.  The average now stands at $3.12 according to their East Central Gas Price Report.  Here in Washington our average is a penny lower at $3.11 per gallon.  As winter weather grips much of the nation, the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded has gone up six cents over the past week with the average at $2.88.  Even though the national average is higher this week, prices are still 24 cents cheaper than they were one year ago.
