Gas prices are climbing again across Indiana County, where drivers are now paying some of the highest prices in the region.
According to AAA, the average price in Indiana County is about $4.66 a gallon, just slightly below Greensburg at $4.69 and Jeannette at $4.70, but well above areas like Altoona at $4.48 and Bradford at $4.43.
Across Western Pennsylvania, the average price has jumped to about $4.65 a gallon, which is nearly 50 cents higher than just a week ago and more than a dollar higher than this time last year.
The price wars in the 119 corridor in Homer City continue, with both Sheetz and Kwik Fill both showing $4.69, while Accent Fuels remains the lowest of the three at $4.49 a gallon, according to Gasbuddy.com
AAA says the spike is being driven by rising oil prices, increased demand, and shrinking supply, with national averages now at their highest level in four years.
