See which station has the lowest gas prices in Peters Township.
The summer driving season is just around the corner, a time when Peters Township drivers brace for more pain at the pump. But maybe not this year. Jeff Edwin was pleasantly surprised Monday when he filled up his sport utility vehicle at the Sheetz on Babcock Boulevard for $3.57 a gallon. “Get it while it's less than $3.60, you know? It's a good thing,” Edwin told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review . “I'm just hopeful they stay the way they are, and don't start rising again for as long as they can. I'm an average worker with average pay ... and it makes a big difference in my life.” Retail gas prices have dropped steadily since the end of February because more refineries have come back on line after routine maintenance, and crude oil prices have…

The auto club has some sobering statistics for you to think about before drinking and driving.
If you plan to party on New Year’s Eve, AAA has some sobering statistics for you to think about before drinking and driving. Compared to all other days in 2012, New Year’s Day had the highest percentage of deaths that occurred in crashes with a driver who had a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher, according to AAA spokesperson Bevi Powell. AAA statistics show that 122 people were killed in crashes on New Year’s Day 2012, and a little more than half of those crashes involved a drunk driver. “If you plan to drink, absolutely don’t drive,” Powell said. “If you plan to drink, make sure to bring a friend who can drive you home.” She also cautioned against anyone getting into a car with a driver who has been drinking. If you’re hosting a New …

The Indians will play at the Triple-A level for the 2011-12 season—a more than welcome move for head coach Rick Tingle.
All while winning the Penguins Cup and state championships between 2000 and 2005, there was considerable talk, around the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League, that Peters Township would be moving up to play at the AAA level, since they had dominated teams in the AA Division. Finally now, after another Penguins Cup quest, and runner up to the state hockey championship, the Indians will finally get to play at the AAA level for the 2011-12 season, a move that is more than welcome for head coach Rick Tingle and the majority of the players who will return for another championship quest. “We’ve been anticipating this happening for a long time,” said head coach Rick Tingle. “Most importantly, we want to play teams that are our natural …

Trained professionals did safety checks and demonstrated the proper way to install car seats at the third annual Bill Gray Volvo Safety Day & Picnic.
Bill Gray Volvo dubbed it Safety Day & Picnic, and though there were hot dogs, free beverages, games and prizes, the most important issue of the day was the proper installation of car seats. The third annual Safety Day ran from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on a sweltering Saturday afternoon in and around the dealership. Tim Frazier, a Peters Township firefighter, said 90 to 95 percent of all car seats he inspects are placed in the car improperly. “Nine out of 10 car seats I see are not up to safety standards," he said. "Sometimes the seat belt is misused, the child is facing the wrong direction, or the child has outgrown the car seat.” Frazier demonstrated the correct installation of a car seat and went over a checklist that covered key …

More than a million Pennsylvanians will drive this weekend.
Fuel costs and rainy weather won’t dampen motorists’ Memorial Day plans. More than a million Pennsylvanians will be traveling this weekend, according to reports from AAA East Central, which operates 80 offices in the region. That number jumps to 35 million nationally, which is a slight increase from last year. The majority of those travelers will be on the road between Thursday and Monday, driving more than 50 miles and spending about $700, despite rising gas prices. “Although higher fuel costs are a concern for motorists planning their summer travel vacations, it does not appear to impact the overall vacation decision (because) it is a relatively small part of the overall travel budget,” Jim Lehman, executive vice president of AAA …
