Utica, NY, October 31, 2022 — The average gas price in New York is up 14 cents from last week ($3.67), averaging $3.81 per gallon. The combination of tight supplies and strong demand have driven prices locally to the highest point in eight weeks, according to AAA Northeast. Today’s price is 19 cents higher than a month ago ($3.62), and 27 cents higher than October 31, 2021 ($3.54). New York’s average gas price is 5 cents higher than the national average.
“While prices continue to decrease in many regions of the country, lack of inventory and sustained demand here in the northeast are driving up our prices at the pump,” said Patti Artessa, AAA Northeast Regional Director, Public and Government Affairs.
AAA Northeast’s October 31 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 3 cents lower than last week ($3.79), averaging $3.76 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 3 cents lower than a month ago ($3.79), and 36 cents higher than this day last year ($3.40).
