PLATTSBURGH — The national average price of gasoline remained unchanged compared to a week ago at $3.10 per gallon, and in New York state, prices were also unchanged, at $3.04.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is up 3.8 cents from a month ago but 52.6 cents lower than a year ago and in New York State, 1.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and 61.3 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
“Average gasoline prices in the U.S. have been volatile over the past week, with roughly half of the 50 states seeing prices decline while the other half experienced increases,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
“Oil prices, which had fallen into the $50 per barrel range at the height of Trump’s trade war, have since rallied and are now holding in the low $60s, leading to rising gas prices in some states. For now, I expect the national average to bounce around in the $3.10 to $3.20 per gallon range over the coming week, with a continued mixed bag for consumers — about half of the states may see prices inch lower, while the other half could experience increases. We’ll be watching for any market developments, but for now, the market appears to be in a holding pattern.”
The top 10% of gas stations have a reported average of $4.50 per gallon, with the bottom averaging $2.54.
California, Hawaii and Washington continue to average the highest prices per gallon at $4.73, $4.44 and $4.21 respectively.
The states with the lowest average prices per gallon are Oklahoma at $2.63, Mississippi at $2.64 and Texas at $2.69
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists remains unchanged at $2.99.
As of Monday, April 28 these are the reported prices per gallon from stations around the North Country.
