Rochester, New York – According to AAA, the average price per gallon in Syracuse is $4.94 with the average price being one cent higher at $4.95 in Rochester.
In Buffalo, the average price per gallon is $4.89.
In Ithaca, the price is slightly higher than in the three other cities at $4.96.
The highest prices in upstate New York are in North Country counties- Clinton, Essex, Franklin, and Saint Lawrence- where the average prices are all above $5.
According to AAA spokesperson David Yates, if it wasn’t for the rising price of crude oil, New York’s gas tax holiday- which went into effect on June 1- would have likely provided a greater benefit to consumers.
As of Monday, June 6, crude oil was $120 per barrel, according to AAA.
AAA reported a national average price for fuel of $4.86 as of Monday meaning that, in just four days, the national average price rose by 11 cents.
