April Gas Prices Have Been Good to Drivers

Gas prices in every state—except Idaho—have seen another decrease since last week, according to AAA’s fuel report.

In Pennsylvania, the average for a gallon of self-serve regular is $3.552 per gallon down 5.4 cents from a week ago. U.S. gasoline prices in April have continued to fall, the reports states, not just because of weak demand, but oil prices have also moved sharply lower.

In the Lehigh Valley, the average priceof self-service gasoline is $3.522 per gallon, 5.9 cents lower than a week ago, 14.5 cents lower than a month ago and 43.5 cents lower than a year ago.

Locally, the cheapest price is $3.60 per gallon at the Giant in Forks Township and $3.38 per gallon at Wawa, $3.43 at Giant and $3.48 at Weis in Palmer Township.
