The American Automobile Association (AAA) has reported gas prices have increased an average of four cents in New York as well as the entire country. Some New York cities are seeing prices increasing up to eight cents more per gallon.
The average price of gas in New York State according to AAA is currently at $2.60. The average price per gallon for regular gas in Binghamton is $2.59.

One month ago, we paid an average of $2.45 and one year ago, that average price for a gallon of regular gas in the Binghamton area was $2.54, so we are paying about 4 cents more per gallon currently that we at this time in 2020.
