Prices at the pump are still the talk of the town.<\/p>\n
Spring break season and the price of oil are directly impacting what you are paying at the pump.<\/p>\n
The average cost for a gallon of gas in Pennsylvania is $3.80, according to AAA. A year ago, the state average was about $3.22.<\/p>\n
That means for the average 14-gallon tank it is costing you $8.12 more every time you fill up your tank.<\/p>\n
We asked AAA how you can save money.<\/p>\n
“We at AAA have found every 5 miles over 50 miles an hour you’re driving you’re making that car work harder, and the fuel economy is dropping exponentially” said Jim Garrity with AAA.<\/p>\n
That means slow down. Another tip, make sure your car is in top operating condition.<\/p>\n
“Lighten the load in your car. Combine your errands, take advantage of fuel saving programs where you can,” he said.<\/p>\n
Garrity also says to shop around. There are apps that can help you track the cheapest prices in your area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prices at the pump are still the talk of the town.
