Area gas prices rise slightly

WARREN — Average gas prices across

the Mahoning Valley rose about 4 cents on

Tuesday over the previous week, but

remained lower than they were the same

time last month.

In the Warren-Youngstown area, the

average cost for a gallon of regular gasoline

was $2.07 versus $2.03 the prior week, $2.12

a month ago and $1.62 a year ago, according

to national auto club AAA.

Statewide, a regular gallon of gas averaged

$2.09 on Tuesday, $2.12 the prior week,

$2.16 a month ago and $1.70 the same time

last year.

Average national gas prices remained

steady at $2.28 per regular gallon on Tuesday

and the prior week.

However, the cost was $2.32 a month ago

and $1.71 a year ago.

Prices continue to remain relatively flat

because of lower driving demand and an

oversupplied market as a result of

increased U.S. production, AAA said.

As refinery maintenance season begins

and driving demand increases, consumers

could expect to see some of the gasoline

supply in the U.S. soaked up, according to

the auto club.
