Gas Prices Steady In City

Gas prices in Jamestown held steady this week at $2.558 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report. Only three Mid-Atlantic and northeast states have more expensive gas price averages on the week. The rest of the region is paying less to fill up as compared to last Monday. The average price of gas this time last year in Jamestown was $2.761 a gallon. With regional utilization up 2.2 percent to 74.6 and an increase in imports, the region’s gasoline stocks built by 2.3 million barrels for the week ending Feb. 1 — the largest of any region according to Energy Information Administration data. On the week, the national gas price average is two cents more expensive, landing at $2.28. At the start of the workweek, nearly half of all state averages also saw jumps — some at or more than a dime increase.
