Gas Prices Surge: Where to Find the Least Expensive

Hopefully you didn't wait to fill up the tank. Pittsburgh gas prices jumped nearly 15 cents in one week -- making it much harder on our wallets -- and much harder on me to find you cheap gas prices!

The reason, again, for the rising gas prices, is the rising oil prices. Oil hit $106 a barrel Monday due to the escalating violence in Libya.

Here's a look at the local gas prices in our area, listed lowest to highest:

$3.47/gallon of unleaded:
Service Center on Washington Road across from Upper St. Clair High School (This is a full service station that accepts only cash, Visa and MasterCard)

$3.48/gallon of unleaded:
Wagners St. Clair Mini Mart Sunoco on Washington Road

$3.49/gallon of unleaded:
GetGo on Ft. Couch Road 
GetGo on Washington Road by The Galleria 
Sunoco on McMurray Road
Sunoco on Washington Road
BP on Washington Road across from The Galleria 
Shell station on Painters Run Road
Exxon on Painters Run Road 

Something also to keep in mind, the rising gas prices will affect airlines. If you are planning on buying a plane ticket, you may not want to wait, gas prices are expected to continue to rise.
