Gas Prices Continue to Fall, Slowly

Find the cheapest gas in Northampton.

So far, so good: Gasoline prices are relatively stable in this first month of 2013, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report.

Daily fluctuations in price have not exceeded a penny so far in 2013. Last January, the daily average moved by a penny or more nine times, including two increases of more than three cents per gallon.

Here, gas prices fell slightly in the Bucks and Montgomery Counties over the week by about 2 cents, which is .2 cents lower than last month and 2.7 cents lower than a year ago.
