Gas prices take another big jump in Orleans
Photo by Tom Rivers: The price for regular unleaded was at $4.17 on Tuesday at the Crosby’s in Albion at the intersection of routes 98 and 31. The store gives a 5-cent discount for customers with the rewards card, which made the price $4.12. The cease fire with Iran dropped oil prices but the gas price didn’t go down as of this morning in Albion.
The average price for regular unleaded gas in Orleans County is at $4.12 today, according to AAA. That is up 11 cents from Monday when the average price was $4.01 a gallon.
The average price nationally is also up four cents in two days to $4.164 while the average state-wide is at $4.131, up six cents since Monday and nearly 15 cents from $3.985 a week ago.
The gas price could be coming down after Iran and the United States reached a two week ceasefire last night. That news sent oil prices down 18 percent to about $90 a barrel, the lowest price in about a month.
Today’s average diesel price in NYS was $5.957, up about 15 cents from a week ago when it was $5.806.
