New York – The average prices of gas keep moving upward.

• U.S. average: $3.33/gallon (up six cents)

• NYS average: $3.43/gallon (up eight cents)

• One year ago, the U.S. average was $2.17, while New York’s was $2.25.

“High crude prices (above $80 per barrel) remain the main culprit for rising pump prices,” AAA says. “As crude prices remain elevated, pump prices will likely follow suit.”
