The national average price of gasoline decreases after reaching a yearly high, down 6.2 cents from last week’s average to $3.19 per gallon, and in New York State, down 2.5 cents to $3.10.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is up 14 cents from a month ago but 44.4 cents lower than a year ago and in New York State, 1.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and 38.7 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
On Friday, April 4 the national average price of gasoline reached a new high at $3.26, a 24 cent increase from this year’s lowest average recorded by GasBuddy on March 17 at $3.02.
“While the national average price of gasoline saw its largest weekly gain of the year, it likely won’t last long, as oil prices have plummeted amid growing concerns about the global economy following the U.S. announcement of some of the most significant tariffs in over a century, along with OPEC+ restoring oil production faster than anticipated,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
“In addition to falling oil prices, the stock market has dropped sharply, and the risk of a recession has increased — raising the likelihood of reduced global energy and oil demand, which is sending prices lower. As a result, motorists can expect gas prices to begin falling nearly coast-to-coast, with oil now at its lowest level since the early days of the pandemic in 2021. If tariffs aren’t scaled back soon, the national average could fall below $3 per gallon in the weeks ahead, with no clear indication of how long it might stay there as market volatility persists.”
The top 10% of gas stations have a reported average of $4.63 per gallon, with the bottom averaging $2.64.
California, Hawaii and Washington continue to average the highest prices per gallon at $4.87, $4.44 and $4.31 respectively.
The states with the lowest average prices per gallon are Oklahoma at $2.72, Mississippi at $2.73 and Tennessee at $2.77.
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists remains unchanged at $2.99.
As of Thursday, April 10 these are the reported prices per gallon from stations around the North Country.
