As a point of comparison, just filled up in Wilkes-Barre at $3.41/gallon with plus (regular is $3.21).

Gas prices are higher because Pittsburgh is so "up and coming", "America's most livable city", etc. Stop whining and suck it up. What did you think was gonna happen?

True. "Trendy" = Steadily rising rents; above-average gas prices; etc. I think Pittsburgh has truly lost its competitive advantage and edge in terms of "affordability" now, at least for the middle-class/working-class.

In the more elite areas, you are certainly correct.


But the Pittsburgh area still has a lot of affordability, if you step outside the central/east end area box.

Just filled up the tank with regular priced at $3.07/gallon. The station is located on Rte 288 just outside of Zelie. But I had to go thru Soulless Cranberry to get there. So many SUVs and Soccer Moms to fight!

Always seems like South Hills gas stations are usually cheaper, however found it interesting in my travels today that the Monroeville areas were $3.19, while the South Hills were still holding $3.30.

Amen to that! I drive a lot on 79 and it gets more depressing with every trip seeing the woods and farms disappear to be replaced by sprawl. I wish Butler County would start enacting some conservation zoning. The one good thing about the driving the hills of Pittsburgh is that not every square inch can be developed.

I was joking. So we suburbanites are to be restricted on development but not the City? I'm sure there was a lot of green space in Pittsburgh proper back in the day, not so much now. Should development been stopped? Were will people live, on top of each other in high rises?
