When it comes to filling up your gas tank for the cheapest price, the day of the week matters.<\/p>\n

A new study by GasBuddy<\/a> identified the cheapest and most expensive days of the week to buy gasoline in all 50 states, based on a data of daily statewide fuel prices over the past year.<\/p>\n

According to this analysis, GasBuddy found that Sunday is the most consistently affordable day to fill up in most states. Midweek, particularly Wednesday through Friday, tends to be more expensive.<\/p>\n

And that holds true for drivers in New York state.<\/p>\n

According to GasBuddy\u2019s study, the best day of the week for New York drivers to fill their gas tank is Sunday. The worst day is Thursday.<\/p>\n

GasBuddy said that, in most states, prices gradually rise through the week before easing into the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cGas prices don\u2019t just move based on global oil markets \u2014 they also follow a weekly rhythm,\u201d said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. \u201cFor most drivers, Sunday is the safest bet for finding lower prices, while filling up mid-week can mean paying more.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of Friday, the national average gas price in the United States is $2.93, according to AAA.<\/p>\n

In New York state, the average gas price is $2.99, according to the data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to filling up your gas tank for the cheapest price, the day of the week…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140987,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":["post-140986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
