Where Are North Hills' Lowest Gas Prices?

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA - If you think you’ve been paying more at the pump recently, you’re correct. Even before the start of the summer, when the cost traditionally escalates, gas prices are on the rise.

The average price per gallon in the Pittsburgh metro area on Monday was $2.72, according to GasBuddy.com, which tracks gas prices across the country. That’’s nearly six cents higher than a week ago, an increase of more than 20 cents a gallon from a month ago and more than 42 cents a gallon higher than a year ago.

That puts the price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Pittsburgh 30 cents higher than the $2.42 national average, so it pays to hunt for a bargain. According to GasBuddy.com, here are the lowest gas prices in the Ross-West View area:
