The average price of gasoline in New York stands at $3.17 per gallon, unchanged from last week, and for the first time in three weeks, the national average decreased 3.8 cents from a week ago standing at $3.14.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is up 1.1 cents compared to a month ago and 32.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
Prices in New York State are up 10 cents from a month ago but 38.3 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
“The national average price of gasoline has resumed its decline, with falling prices driven by easing tensions in the Middle East — just weeks after those same tensions had pushed prices higher,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said. “For motorists planning to hit the road for Independence Day, gas prices are expected to continue falling nearly coast to coast in the lead-up to July 4.
“Relief could expand as the holiday weekend approaches, with the national average on track to hit its lowest July 4 level since 2021 at $3.15 per gallon, we project. As long as tensions in the Middle East remain contained and the U.S. avoids a major hurricane, we could see the national average fall below $3 per gallon later this summer.”
The top 10% of gas stations have a reported average of $4.37 per gallon and the bottom averaging $2.58.
California has the highest average price per gallon at $4.53, followed by Washington and Hawaii tied at $4.39.
The state with the lowest average price is Oklahoma at $2.67 per gallon, followed by Mississippi at $2.68 and Texas at $2.72.
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists in the U.S. remains unchanged at $2.99.
