As we enter the month of May, drivers are not catching a break on the price of gas.
According to Triple-A, the reason for the spike in gas prices is the cost of crude oil remaining around $100 a barrel. Experts say that as long as supplies remain tight, it will be hard for crude oil prices and the price at the pump to come down.
As of this morning, the gas price average for the United States is now at $4.20, up seven cents from last week and up one penny from last month. Pennsylvania’s average also went up to $4.37 a gallon, an increase of 16 cents over the last week, and an increase of 10 cents over the last month.
Indiana’s average also went up since Saturday from $4.32 a gallon to $4.37 a gallon this morning. Indiana is tied with Westmoreland and Jefferson County. Armstrong has the lowest average in the region at $4.35 a gallon, Cambria has $4.36 a gallon. Clearfield is the highest in the region at $4.38 a gallon.
Gas prices in Indiana, Homer City, Clymer and Blairsville are at $4.39 a gallon this morning according to GasBuddy.com.
