PLATTSBURGH — The national average price of gasoline continues to decline, down 8.2 cents compared to a week ago to $3.13 per gallon, and in New York state, prices are down 3.3 cents to $3.05.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is up 7.8 cents from a month ago, but 46.9 cents lower than a year ago and in New York state, 1.1 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and 42.2 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
“After oil’s sharp drop over the last couple of weeks — driven by concerns over the impact of U.S. tariffs and OPEC+ restoring production faster than expected — gasoline prices have posted a notable weekly decline, with nearly every state seeing prices fall,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
“While I do expect gas prices to continue trending lower, any abrupt change in the current tariff situation could eventually bring the decline to a halt. For now, the good news is that gas prices typically reach their yearly peak around April 10, so we may have already witnessed ‘peak pain’ at the pump for 2025. As refiners near the end of seasonal maintenance and supply begins to rise — and with the changeover to summer gasoline nearly complete — it’s increasingly likely that gas prices have already hit their high for the year.”
The top 10% of gas stations have a reported average of $4.58 per gallon, with the bottom averaging $2.56.
California, Hawaii and Washington continue to average the highest prices per gallon at $4.82, $4.47 and $4.30 respectively.
The states with the lowest average prices per gallon are Oklahoma at $2.67, Mississippi and Tennessee tied at $2.69.
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists remains unchanged at $2.99.
