Gas prices in Central New York remain above $3 per gallon, with the regional average at $3.06, slightly higher than last week. Syracuse drivers are paying $3.13 on average, with nearby areas seeing minor fluctuations.
Prices vary across the region: Batavia averages $3.20, Buffalo $3.11, Elmira $3.08, and Ithaca $3.34. Seasonal trends suggest prices may fall further in January as post-holiday demand decreases and oil prices remain stable in the $70 range.
AAA remains cautiously optimistic that prices could dip below $3 if demand continues to ease.
