And, the decline in pump prices locally are outpacing the national average, according to numbers from AAA.

While the prices are down, the trend in Central New York isn't keeping up with state or national averages.

Don't get too comfortable with the reasonably low gas prices across Upstate and Central New York.

Here's some good news - gas prices in central New York are down this month, and just in time for the holidays. Due to lower gas prices, it's expected that more people will be on the road this holiday season.

During these "Frog Days Of Summer", we're used to gas prices going up, then down, then up again. But, why are gas prices so high here in central New York? I was on vacation last week in Cape Cod Massachusetts (a tourist area for sure) and paid $3.53 a gallon for regular last Wednesday, and $3.55 on Monday, when I left.

Now that we're into the "Frog Days Of Summer", we'll be driving more on those vacation trips. The good news is that local gas prices continue to go down.

Finally some good news about local gas prices, and the news is that prices are  going down.

Why is it that when we hear about national average gas prices in the media, it seems like we're paying more here in Central New York? Because we are! According to reports, gas prices in the Utica-Rome area are the highest in the state.

Remember the line from Ronnie  Dunn's "Cost of Living", where he says "Three dollars and change at the pump"? Well, now it's all of that and then some. Although gas prices are rising, I've read where they  may level off my Memorial Day, but where will that level be?

You've probably noticed that gas prices have been inching up in the past few weeks. It's been a rather gradual climb, but now you really feel the pinch at the pump especially when traveling.
