Gas prices took a major dip nationwide, nearly a week after the midterm elections.
According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of gas fell 16 cents from last week and is now at $4. This is more than $1 higher than this time last year.
The average also fell in Western Pennsylvania, but not as much. It’s down 9 cents for an average of $4.532. This is more than $1 higher than this time last year.
In Pittsburgh specifically, the average is $4.620.
AAA says gas prices have been going down for nearly two weeks, alongside crude oil — which is back in the high $80 to low $90 per barrel range.
Even though prices are dropping, AAA says this is the highest gas prices have ever been during this time of year. Before 2026, the national average had never gone above $4 a gallon in November.
