So far, so good: Gasoline prices are relatively stable in this first month of 2013, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report.
Daily fluctuations in price have not exceeded a penny so far in 2013. Last January, the daily average moved by a penny or more nine times, including two increases of more than three cents per gallon.
Gas prices fell slightly in the Bucks and Montgomery Counties over the week by about 2 cents, which is .2 cents lower than last month and 2.7 cents lower than a year ago.
The price per gallon in Pennsylvania is also down—by about 2 cents—since last week. The national average price of a gallon of self-serve regular is $3.316, while the average locally is $3.456.
Nearby, the cheapest price for regular is $3.36 at the Sunoco at 3340 Bristol Rd.
