Gas prices in New York experience another increase

New York residents have seen a fluctuating gas price landscape over the past year, with prices ranging between $3.00 and $3.35 per gallon. As of now, the average price of regular gas in the state stands at around $3.10, which is nearly unchanged from a month ago but 7% lower than it was a year ago.

A year ago, New Yorkers were paying $3.35 for a gallon of gas, while a month ago, the price was slightly lower at $3.06. However, it's important to note that the current price is still higher than it was a month ago.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) provides data on gas prices, and according to their reports, the current average price in New York is about 2.5% cheaper than the national rate of $3.18.

It's worth mentioning that the oil prices in New York are not regulated by a specific government authority or company. Instead, they are primarily set by global market supply and demand dynamics. U.S. regulatory bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) do regulate environmental aspects, but they do not control oil price setting. The reason prices have not risen further in New York, despite global increases, is mainly due to market forces, strategic reserves, and monetary policy influences such as interest rate decisions by the Federal Reserve, which affect economic conditions and energy demand indirectly.
