Gas So Cheap One Station in Central New York Ran Out
Have you seen the price of gas in one Central New York town? It's cheap! So cheap one gas station actually ran out.
The national average for a gallon of gas is currently $3.44, which is 13 cents less than it was a year ago. AAA says the main reasons for the decline are "lackluster gasoline demand and burgeoning supply."
It's not as bad as it was a few years ago, but it isn't great either, especially with the busy summer driving season around the corner.
