Locally though AAA says that while the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is up slightly from a week ago, there is little to no movement in the average price locally.
"The price of oil remains steady, trading in the low to mid $80s per barrel this morning. The latest data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) indicates a slight decrease in overall demand for gas, while the domestic stockpile of gas dipped fractionally. Hurricane Beryl had limited impact on gasoline refining in the Gulf helping maintain price stability." AAA reported.
AAA also mentioned that "Diesel prices are relatively steady. The national average price for diesel is $3.86, up two cents from last Monday. The New York average is $4.24, no change from last Monday."
