BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — More records are being broken as gas prices continue to surge upward.
“March 8 prices have all surpassed the highest prices previously set during the recession in July of 2008,” AAA said.
You’re now paying more for gas than ever before
And now, they’re even higher. The national average is $4.25 per gallon, while New York’s is $4.43. Each average went up by less than a dime this time, but that’s still not good news for drivers.
It’s especially dispiriting when you compare last year’s prices at this time, where the U.S. average was $2.80 and New York’s was $2.85.
Buffalo, Batavia and Rochester are all under the state average.
Batavia – $4.35 (up 6 cents from yesterday)Buffalo – $4.37 (up 7 cents from yesterday)Ithaca – $4.38 (up 3 cents from yesterday)Rochester – $4.38 (up 5 cents from yesterday)Rome – $4.41 (up 6 cents from yesterday)Syracuse – $4.39 (up 5 cents from yesterday)Watertown – $4.40 (up 5 cents from yesterday)
Oil prices remain more than $120 per barrel, AAA says.
