Press release from AAA:
Today’s national average price for a gallon of gasoline is $2.69, down 6 cents from last week. One year ago, the price was $2.89. The New York State average is $2.87 – down 3 cents from last week. A year ago, the NYS average was $3.05. AAA Western and Central New York (AAA WCNY) reports the following averages:
The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is $2.69 per gallon, which is 6 cents less than last week, 17 cents less than a month ago, and 20 cents less than a year ago.
Increased stocks of gasoline continue to push pump prices lower, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). In its latest weekly petroleum report, EIA revealed that total domestic inventories of gasoline grew while demand is also up, which is common for this time of year.
As the summer driving season gets underway, increased gas stocks will help meet high demand and keep prices in line.
Crude prices increased after heightened market fears due to rising tensions in the Middle East. Last week, two tankers (one carried menthol and the other carried crude oil) in the Gulf of Oman were attacked.
Approximately 20 percent of global crude supplies flow through the waterway. The Trump Administration attributed the attack to Iran, with Iran denying the accusation. If tension between the United States and Iran escalates, the market will likely continue pushing global crude prices higher due to increased fears that more tankers could be targeted.

Nic Ready, who recently graduated from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, where President Donald Trump singled him out and called him up to the stage -- made his professional baseball debut with the Muckdogs on Friday night.
Ready, from Poway, Calif. (San Diego County) is the son of Randy Ready, a former major league player whose career included a stint with the San Diego Padres.
The 2019 season for the Batavia Muckdogs got off to the right start with 1,700 fans in attendance and a 2-0 win over the Auburn Doubledays.
Ben Hayes, the president of the New York-Penn League, the current owners of the franchise, said he's pleased with the improvements made by General Manager Brendan Kelly, Groundskeeper Cooper Thomson, and the rest of the staff during the offseason.
Over the offseason, the league signed a three-year lease agreement for Dwyer Stadium and Hayes isn't talking like a league leader who wants to leave Batavia.
"We've been here since 1939," Hayes said. "Batavia means a lot to the New York-Penn League and there's been a lot of rumors and all that kind of stuff generated by people who are scared that the club's going to leave. But it's still here."
To keep the team here, though, the team needs community support.
"The facility is a good facility at this point in time to play professional baseball," Hayes said. "We do need people to come and we need businesses to support the operations so that we can pay our bills, pay the bus company to transport us around, hotels -- all the different things that come along with a professional baseball team."
The team itself looks good. Several college-age players, some top prospects, lots of talent.
In centerfield this year is one of the Miami Marlins' Top 50 prospects, Milton Smith Jr., who hit .361 last year in rookie ball. He went 1-3 on opening night.
Dalvy Rosario, another top prospect, his first two hits in the league. He also stole a base and was caught stealing.
Peyton Burdick, a third-round draft pick from Batavia -- Batavia, Ohio -- started in right field and got his first two professional hits.
Nic Ready, from Poway, Calif. (San Diego County), an Air Force Academy grad (see separate video), and son of former major leaguer Randy Ready (San Diego Padres, among other teams, and for the previous three seasons, he managed in the Marlins system), started at third base. His first professional hit was a double and he scored a run.
Starting pitcher Remey Reed, a 2016 sixth-round pick from Plano, Texas, who spent part of the 2016 and 2017 seasons in Batavia, gave up only one hit over five frames to pick up the win. Cason Sherrod notched the save.
Douglas Scott Sprague accepted a plea deal in Genesee County Court Friday afternoon on a charge of first-degree criminal contempt, a Class E felony.
He admitted to intentionally violating a court order of protection on April 9 in Alabama. He was previously convicted of second-degree criminal contempt in October of 2014 in Town of Oakfield Court for violating an order of protection.
The 53-year-old native of McDonough, who finished the 11th grade of high school, is considered a second felony offender for sentencing purposes.
Judge Charles Zambito ordered a presentencing report and an order of protection for one year for the victim.
Bail is continued at $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond for Sprague, who appeared in court with his head shaved, with a goatee, and wearing orange jail clothes to waive the indictment against him.
Sentencing is scheduled for the morning of Wednesday, July 24.
A motor-vehicle accident with injuries is reported at 10 Otis St. in the city, between Sumner and Ellicott streets. City fire and Mercy medics are responding.
