Dormont-Brookline Gas Prices: Where Are The Cheapest Fill-Ups?

Where to go for the cheapest gas around Dormont and Brookline? Try Exxon.

The Exxon at the intersection of West Liberty and Pioneer avenues is selling a gallon of regular unleaded for $2.47 a gallon, according to GasBuddy. Com. But four nearby locations aren’t much more expensive. Charging $2.49 a gallon are:

• BP, West Liberty Avenue at Capital Avenue.

• Citgo, McNeilly Road near Pearc Road.

• Gulf, McNeilly Road at Sussex Avenue.

• Cogo’s, Potomac and Broadway avenues.

The average price per gallon in the Pittsburgh area is $2.52, according to AAA. That’s 45 cents higher than a year ago.

The Pittsburgh average is higher than the $2.48 average across the state, which is higher than the current national average of $2.29 per gallon. In Pennsylvania, an 8-cent per gallon gas tax increase went into effect in January. The state’’s wholesale tax is 58 cents per gallon, the highest such levy in the country.
