Gas Prices Steady Across Northeast, South

Gasoline prices have remained relatively stable across several U.S. states in the past week, with only minor fluctuations reported. In Western Pennsylvania, prices are steady at around $3.58 per gallon, while in Maine, the average price rose by a penny to $2.99 per gallon. New York State saw no change from last week, holding at $3.10 per gallon, and Georgia's average increased just one cent to $2.92 per gallon. Nationally, AAA reports a slight two-cent increase to $3.16 per gallon, but prices remain nearly 50 cents lower than a year ago. Experts attribute this stability to declining crude oil prices resulting from economic concerns and increased output from OPEC+, which have counteracted typical seasonal demand. Diesel prices also showed minimal change nationwide.
