Gas prices decrease slightly in past week, down 63 cents in past year in NYS
The national average price for a gallon of gasoline was at $3.14 on Monday, down three cents from the previous week. A year ago, the price was $3.62, AAA reported.
The New York State average is $3.09, down a penny from a week ago and a drop of 63 cents from a year earlier.
AAA said prices dropped in the past week in the “lull between spring travel and the kick-off to summer.” The OPEC+ group of oil-producing countries also announced last week it will increase output again in June. That should widen the supply surplus, andcould cause crude prices to continue to fall, AAA said, leading to even lower prices at the pump this summer.
