There is no hiding that money is pretty tight for all of us right now. With prices on the rise on a number of things including groceries it is always nice to get a bit of a break when it comes to some of the other basics that we need. Gas would be included in the basics and right now it looks like it’s a bit cheaper around New York.

According to GasBuddy, the average price for gas in New York is $3.09. The lowest price in the state has been reported at $2.56, which I would love to find. The Capital Region is right around the average for NYS right now

Gas stations around the Capital Region have seen a drop, the Troy Record reports. In Albany there are several gas stations being reported at below the average price, but mostly still above $3 a gallon. Schenectady appears to be very cheap right now with prices under $3 a gallon, and falling. GasBuddy has the GasWay Express Mart on Erie Blvd at $2.87 a gallon right now.

What about the rest of the Capital Region?

Clifton Park has a few on the lower side but for the most part is still seeing prices about $3.10 a gallon for many of their gas stations. That seems to be the case for Saratoga County in general, with higher gas prices than Albany and Schenectady right now.

Troy is also lower than Saratoga and Albany, with prices being reported at multiple gas stations at $2.95 a gallon.

This is all very promising news as we’re set to get into the busy travel season after Halloween. Many people will be hitting to road, so hopefully this trend of lower gas prices will last through Thanksgiving.
