The average self‑serve gas price in New York is $4.313 per gallon today, compared with the national average of $4.284 per gallon.
Prices in the region have edged lower over the last seven days: petrol fell by -0.92% versus the previous week when the average was 4.353 USD, marking the fourth consecutive weekly decline.
Over the past 11 weeks New York’s petrol has ranged between a low of 4.044 USD and a high of 4.421 USD, and the level now sits 6.65% higher than at the start of that window. Relative to the wider U.S. market, New York is broadly in line with the national average—about 0.68% above the national petrol price—so local drivers are paying very slightly more than the nationwide norm.
For national context, the most expensive state average is California at 6.031 USD per gallon while the cheapest is Texas at 3.704 USD; this helps explain why New York’s level sits near the national middle. All figures and trends are drawn from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
