People in the Mohawk Valley are always justifiably angry over the fact that we pay so much more for gasoline than our neighbors across Upstate New York.

In Syracuse, there are gas stations selling regular unleaded gasoline for $2.87 a gallon. Why are their prices so cheap, as compared to ours? Furthermore, you can get gas for a lower price than what we pay at a New York State Thruway Rest Area.

Still though, we're left to tolerate it as it doesn't seem like we're going to be seeing more affordable prices anytime soon. Therefore, we must grin and bear, and try to find the best prices we can find here in our own area.

Therefore, as a public service, here are the most competitive gas prices in the Mohawk Valley as of today, November 8th.

Currently, the lowest prices in our area are in Ilion, in Herkimer County.

Currently, Stewart's Shops at 27 E Clark St offers the lowest price at $3.07 per gallon. Close behind, CITGO at 20 Central Ave and Fastrac at 114 Central Ave both offer fuel for $3.09 per gallon. With prices fluctuating daily, these stations are your best bet for affordable fill-ups.

O'Scugnizzo's Pizzeria is 110 Years Old in Utica, NY

Founded in 1914 by Eugenio Brullino, a determined immigrant from Naples, Italy, O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria has become synonymous with quality, consistency, and the unique flavors of
Utica.
Eugenio Brullino arrived in America in 1913 on the Canopic to Boston, Massachusetts, from Naples at the age of 25. Settling in Utica with his wife Maria, he began his American journey as a pastry chef. To supplement their household income, Maria would prepare little tomato pies, which Eugenio sold at church feasts each weekend. The name "O'Scugnizzo" comes from Naples, which was a slang term used for street urchin’s looking for a day’s work.
When he decided to open his pizzeria in 1914, it was this term that became the trade name, a legacy that would endure for generations.
