Utica, N.Y., January 30, 2023 — The average gas price in New York is up 7 cents from last week ($3.50), averaging $3.57 per gallon. Today’s price is 17 cents higher than a month ago ($3.40), and 3 cents higher than January 30, 2022 ($3.54). New York’s average gas price is 7 cents higher than the national average.
“January’s weather was relatively mild in much of the nation, which led to more drivers hitting the road. However, a return of wintery conditions in February may see a revival of seasonal driving patterns,” said Patti Artessa, AAA Northeast Regional Director of Public and Government Affairs. “But with the cost of oil stubbornly hovering around $80 per barrel, drivers probably won’t catch a big break at the pump over the next week or two.”
AAA Northeast’s January 30 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 8 cents higher than last week ($3.42), averaging $3.50 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 33 cents higher than a month ago ($3.17) and is 14 cents higher than this day last year ($3.36).
