The nation’s average price of gasoline declines for a fifth week, down 0.7 cents from last week and stands at $3.02 per gallon and in New York State prices are down 0.7 cents averaging $3.10 per gallon Monday according to GasBuddy’s survey of 6,118 stations in New York.
Prices in New York are 10 cents lower than a month ago and 47.4 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is down 15.2 cents compared to a month ago and 27.6 cents lower than a year ago.
“Several states saw gas prices jump or ‘cycle’ last week, a behavior in which gas prices climb significantly after falling below a station’s replacement price. This led the national average to see little meaningful change from last week, with many states experiencing a slow decline, offsetting the few states that did see big jumps,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
“However, the good news is that those states that saw large jumps last week will likely see some of the biggest declines at the pump this week, paving the way for the national average to fall, potentially below $3 per gallon, just in time for Thanksgiving, with GasBuddy tracking 28 states already below that level.”
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists is $2.89, a 10 cent decrease from last week.
The top 10% of stations in the country average $4.19 per gallon and the bottom 10% average $2.44 per gallon.
The states with the lowest average prices per gallon are Oklahoma at $2.50, Mississippi at $2.59 and Texas at $2.60.
Hawaii, California and Washington remain averaging the highest prices per gallon at $4.52, $4.38 and $3.91 respectively.
