The average price of gasoline in New York rose is $3.06 per gallon, up 1 cent from last week, and the national average is down 4.2 cents from a week ago standing at $3.08.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is down 8.6 cents from a month ago and 50.6 cents lower than a year ago.
Prices in New York State are 3.9 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and 64.6 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
“Even with oil prices jumping more than $4 per barrel compared to last week, the national average price of gasoline has resumed its decline as refineries wrap up seasonal maintenance and prepare to boost output,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said. “Forty states have seen average gasoline prices fall over the last week, while just ten have seen increases—most notably on the West Coast, where another refinery fire in Northern California once again disrupted gasoline production. As we approach Memorial Day, gas prices may see some minor fluctuations, but for now, I don’t expect any significant changes to the national average, with prices staying near their lowest seasonal level since 2021. However, with de-escalation in the trade war between the U.S. and China, we could see oil jumping on the optimism, which could push gas prices up slightly in the weeks to come.”
The top 10% of gas stations have a reported average of $4.67 per gallon, a 17.0 cent increase, with the bottom averaging $2.53, a 1 cent increase.
California, Hawaii and Washington continue to average the highest prices per gallon at $4.84, $4.45 and $4.25 respectively.
The states with the lowest average prices per gallon are Mississippi at $2.61, Oklahoma at $2.64 and Louisiana at $2.66.
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists in the US remains unchanged at $2.99.
As of Tuesday, May 13, these are the reported prices per gallon from stations around the North Country.
