The average price of gasoline in New York is $3.24 per gallon, up 10.8 cents from last week, and the national average sits at $3.16 according to GasBuddy’s live ticking average.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is up 3.2 cents compared to a month ago, but 6 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
Prices in New York State are up 10.6 cents from a month ago and 12.7 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
“Most of the nation’s 50 states saw gas prices rise over the last week, while some Great Lakes states saw significant relief thanks to the restart of BP’s Whiting, Indiana, refinery after severe weather caused a temporary outage,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a release Tuesday.
“GasBuddy counts 17 states with average prices below $3 per gallon — fewer than we’ve seen in recent months. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois led the declines, while just a few additional states saw price drops. Meanwhile, the West Coast may see continued increases ahead in California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada due to seasonal refinery maintenance and the shutdown of a refinery in Southern California, which will keep supply tight. However, with the transition back to winter gasoline just a week away for most areas, those increases may be short-lived, with potential relief arriving toward the end of the month. Additionally, OPEC+ announced an increase in oil production starting in October, which could help keep oil prices lower for longer.”
GasBuddy data reports the top 10% of gas stations average $4.42 per gallon and the bottom averaging $2.60.
California averages the highest average price per gallon at $4.57, unchanged from last week, followed by Hawaii at $4.41 and Washington at $4.39.
The state with the lowest average price is Mississippi and Oklahoma tied at $2.69 followed by Texas at $2.72.
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists in the US remains unchanged at $2.99.
As of Monday, Sept. 8 these are the prices per regular gallon reported around the North Country.
