Gas prices across New York are about the same this week as they were one week ago. According to Monday’s AAA of Western and Central New York report, the New York State average is $3.12. The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is $3.06, up three cents from last Monday.
Unfortunately, gas prices did not fall below the $3 mark in 2024, but 2025 could have better luck as it is typical to see fuel prices drop in January after the holiday travel period ends. Gas demand has declined with fewer people fueling up after the peak of holiday road travel, and weak gas demand alongside stable crude oil prices has pushed pump prices slightly lower since last week. If gas demand remains low, drivers will likely continue to see pump prices trickle downward in the coming weeks. Monday morning, oil prices ranged from $73 to $76 per barrel.
For drivers who use diesel fuel, the national average price for diesel is $3.51, up two cents from last Monday. The New York average is $3.84, up one cent from last Monday.
