(Pittsburgh, PA) Gas prices in Western Pennsylvania rose 49 cents over the past week to an average of $4.65 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s latest report. 

After declining for nearly two weeks, prices are climbing again, with the national average increasing by 34 cents over the same period. 

The national average is now $1.29 higher than this time last year, as oil prices top $100 per barrel amid uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. 

In Beaver County, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas is about $4.69.
