western new york gas prices

If you plan on doing any traveling this Memorial Day weekend, expect to pay more for gas to get to your destination.

Anyone who has a car and a reason to go somewhere may have experienced a little weight loss this month. It’s not because they’ve been power walking, watching what they eat or doing more activities that don’t involve the use of a Snuggie. It’s because their wallets and purses weigh a lot less.

Gas prices are utterly crazy! Last week, the average cost of gasoline in the United States was $3.84. In places like Los Angeles, the price has jumped to $4.23 a gallon. Here in Western New York the average gas price is $3.96.  These increases are correlated to conflicts in Middle Eastern oil-producing nations.
