Gas prices in Pittsburgh, PA

About gas prices in Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh sits between PADD 1B Northeast and PADD 2 Midwest supply zones with pipeline access to multiple refining clusters: Marathon Catlettsburg KY to the south, Phillips 66 Bayway NJ to the east via pipeline, and the Marathon refining cluster in Ohio to the west. Pennsylvania state gas tax is among the highest in the country (close to 58 cents per gallon when oil franchise tax is included). Conventional gasoline keeps supply costs lower than the Philadelphia metro. Pittsburgh typically runs above the PADD 2 average but below Philadelphia thanks to the tax-driven differential. Drivers in suburbs (Cranberry, Wexford, Bethel Park) typically see 8 to 15 cents per gallon savings versus downtown Pittsburgh.
