AAA: Gas prices inching higher as summer marches on

Gas demand remains relatively down, but oil prices have gone up and so have prices at the pump.

As of this report, the national average for a gallon of gas is just below $3.80, while New York State’s average price is $3.83, according to the AAA.

Nearly two-weeks ago, the national average was just shy of $3.60. A year ago now, New Yorkers were paying an average of $4.51 at the pump.

As of this update, gas prices in the Lowville, NY area are just below $3.90, according to GasBuddy.

Prices in the Boonville, NY area reflect nearly the same. Meanwhile, if you examine the Watertown, NY region, the same sources suggest gas prices as low as $3.70.

In Syracuse, drivers are paying as low as $3.75 and nearly the same in the Mohawk Valley/Utica, NY region.
