Gas prices up a penny in NYS, 4 cents nationally in past week
The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas went up a penny in New York State in the past week to $3.11, while the price increased 4 cents nationally to $3.17, according to AAA.
“With Spring Break in full swing, drivers are paying more at the pump compared to last week,” AAA said. “Gas prices typically start going up this time of year and peak during summer. But the national average is still about 40 cents lower than last year, due to tepid gasoline demand and weak crude oil prices.”

- Orleans, $3.216
- Genesee, $3.085
- Niagara, $3.070
- Monroe, $3.086
- Erie, $3.066
