Gas prices jumped 17 cents per gallon over the last week in Schuylkill County.

The average gallon of regular unleaded gas here in the coal region now costs $4.42 (as of March 12), according to reports we’ve been tracking from readers and at GasBuddy.com.

That’s definitely a record high for gas prices in the area but if there’s any sort of silver lining here, it’s that the price of a gallon of gas has steadied over the last 4 days. From March 6-9, the price rose that full 17 cents and it’s been steady since.

In some places around Schuylkill County, the price actually dropped.
