New York’s average gas price is up 2 cents a gallon from last week.

According to AAA Northeast, the average price is $2.94 a gallon, which is four cents higher than a month ago and 78 cents higher than this time last year.

The average price in the Utica-Rome area is up two cents to $2.97 a gallon.

New York’s average price is four cents higher that the national average.
