According to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the national average gas price has fallen for a record 123 consecutive days.
But, there may be little celebration in Pennsylvania, which according toGasBuddy.com, has the highest gas taxes in the nation.
"It's official. Pennsylvania has passed New York and California by earning the dubious distinction of having the highest gasoline taxes in the nation.
Combined with the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon, Pennsylvania's state tax of 50.5 cents per gallon, brings the combined tax to 68.9 cents per gallon.
Californians pay 63.7 cents per gallon. New Yorkers pay 63.4 cents per gallon, according to the American Petroleum Institute," wrote Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.
The average price for gas today in the Harrisburg area is $2.16 a gallon, 4 cents less than a week ago, 33 cents lower than a month ago and $1.31 less than a year ago, according to GasBuddy.
The average price in Pennsylvania is $2.25 a gallon. The national average is $2.03 a gallon.
"Adding insult to injury, Pennsylvania plans to take even more money away from its residents later this year. On July 1, annual passenger car and motorcycle registration will rise by $1 to $37 and $19, respectively. Pickup truck registration will rise $1.50, to $60 and antique, classic and collectible vehicle registration by $2, to $77," Laskoski said.
The lowest price in the Harrisburg area is still $2.04 a gallon at Turkey Hill and Highland Mart in Highspire.
