The price of gasoline is down across the board this week as American travelers get ready to drive over the river and through the woods for Thanksgiving.
Locally, the price of gasoline in Buffalo is $2.34, down a penny from a week ago. In Rochester, it is $2.33, down two cents from last week. The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is now $2.14 per gallon, down three cents from last week. The New York State average is $2.37 per gallon, down two cents from last week. A year ago, the NYS average was $2.33.
More than 48 million Americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more this Thanksgiving. The 43.5 million travelers on the road will be the most since 2005 and more than 800,000 more than last year. Historically, gasoline demand tends to decline during the month of November, and with the autumn refinery maintenance season nearing completion, pump prices are expected to move lower to close out the year.
