How Low Will They Go? Why Experts Predict Pine-Richland Gas Prices Will Drop Even More

The summer driving season is just around the corner, a time when Pine-Richland area drivers brace for more pain at the pump.

But maybe not this year.

North Hills resident Jeff Edwin was pleasantly surprised Monday when he filled up his sport utility vehicle at the Sheetz on Babcock Boulevard for $3.57 a gallon.

“Get it while it's less than $3.60, you know? It's a good thing,” Edwin told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review . “I'm just hopeful they stay the way they are, and don't start rising again for as long as they can. I'm an average worker with average pay ... and it makes a big difference in my life.”

Retail gas prices have dropped steadily since the end of February because more refineries have come back on line after routine maintenance, and crude oil prices have moved sharply lower, reports the AAA .

Analysts predict prices could fall another 20 cents a gallon during the next two months because of lower-than-expected demand in the world's two largest economies, the United States and China.

According to GasBuddy.com , these five stations are offering the lowest prices in Cranberry right now for regular unleaded/self serve.

• GetGo: 140 Towne Centre Drive, Wexford: $3.57
• Sheetz: 12000 Perry Highway, Wexford: $3.57
• BP: 10594 Perry Highway, Wexford: $3.57
• GetGo: 4099 Grandview Dr and Route 8, Gibsonia: $3.57
• Sheetz: 5300 Route 8, Gibsonia: $3.57
