PLATTSBURGH — The nation’s average price of gasoline declined for a fourth week, down 2.2 cents from last week and stands at $3.03 per gallon, and in New York state, prices are down 1.3 cents averaging $3.11 per gallon Monday according to GasBuddy’s survey of 6,118 stations in New York.
Prices in New York are 10.4 cents lower than a month ago and 50.8 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy data, the national average is down 16.7 cents compared to a month ago and 32.3 cents lower than a year ago.
“While the election has come and gone, gas prices have stayed the course, with the national average price of gasoline declining for a fourth consecutive week as seasonal demand weakens and Americans begin to take refuge from falling temperatures,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said.
“While some may be surprised by the declines—some 28 states have average gas prices below $3 per gallon—this was anticipated in our annual Fuel Outlook from last December. Looking back at our outlook provides insight into the current drop and what we expect next. With the median U.S. gas price now at $2.95 per gallon, the lowest since 2021, it appears to be just a matter of time before the national average falls below $3 per gallon for the first time since May 2021, something we’ve already seen for diesel prices, which many Americans will be thankful for as we get closer to Thanksgiving.”
According to GasBuddy demand data, US retail gasoline demand fell 10.1% during the week ending Saturday, Nov. 9.
The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists remains unchanged at $2.99.
The top 10% of stations in the country average $4.17 per gallon and the bottom 10% average $2.47 per gallon.
The states with the lowest average prices per gallon are Oklahoma at $2.50, Texas at $2.60 and Mississippi at $2.65.
Hawaii, California and Washington remain averaging the highest prices per gallon at $4.51, $4.44 and $3.92 respectively.
