PLATTSBURGH — The nation’s average price of gasoline rose again, up 3.3 cents from last week and stands at $3.16 per gallon, and in New York state, prices are up 2.2 cents averaging $3.20 per gallon Monday according to GasBuddy’s survey of 6,118 stations in New York.
Prices in New York are 12.3 cents lower than a month ago and 57.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is unchanged compared to a month ago and 41.8 cents lower than a year ago.
“The national average price of gasoline has returned to a slight climb over the last week as Iran’s attack on Israel has slowly funneled to the gas pump, as expected. For now, while Milton has left a third of all stations in Florida without gas, the storm itself is not impacting prices, and the situation in Florida is expected to improve,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
“With oil prices recently starting to fall again, the rise we saw could end before you know it. and with restoration happening in Florida, we could start to see a decline in gas prices in the weeks ahead, with a good chance of seeing the first sub-$3 per gallon national average since 2021.”
According to GasBuddy demand data, US retail gasoline demand fell 7.9% during the week ending Saturday, Oct. 12.
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists stands at $2.99, unchanged compared to last week.
The top 10% of stations in the country average $4.39 per gallon and the bottom 10% average $2.59 per gallon.
The states with the lowest average prices per gallon are Georgia at $2.67, Mississippi and Texas tied at $2.73.
California, Hawaii and Washington remain averaging the highest prices per gallon at $4.59, $4.53 and $3.99 respectively.
