By season: average and peak $/gal
Pennsylvania peak weeks
Across the five seasons in the table, Pennsylvania's highest weekly reading was $5.86/gal in the 2022-23 season. The latest EIA reading, $5.93/gal for the week of 2026-11-02, is above every weekly reading in those five seasons. Nationally, adjusted for inflation, the highest calendar-year average since 2001 was 2012 at $5.87/gal in August 2026 dollars (see the 25-year history).
vs the Northeast 8
Across the seasons in the table, Pennsylvania's season average sits within $0.28/gal of the eight-state mean at its widest. That is the gap against the mean of the states on this site, computed from the table above, not against PADD1A: PADD1A is New England only, so New York and Pennsylvania are not in it. 14% of PA homes heat with oil, concentrated in eastern PA (Lehigh Valley, NEPA, Bucks). The PA PUC Price-to-Compare affects gas/electric, not oil directly.
