Pump prices for gasoline have now fallen for 24 straight days and registered their lowest price for yesterday’s Independence Day holiday since 2005, according to the AAA Western and Central New York chapter, which includes the North Country.

Today’s national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is $2.27 per gallon. The New York State average is $2.42 per gallon, a penny cheaper than last week.

“A rebounding economy and gas prices reflecting substantial yearly savings are contributing to gasoline demand and vehicle miles traveled that are both on track to set all-time highs for 2016,” the press release said.

“While prices may continue to slide through the month of July, further refinery issues, stronger than anticipated economic growth, geopolitical tensions overseas or hurricanes here at home that impact distribution and production all have the potential to reverse this trend and see prices again turn higher again,” AAA said.

Motorists can find current gas prices along their route with the free AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android. The app can also be used to map a route, find discounts, book a hotel, and access AAA roadside assistance.

AAA has a new website with what they describe as "easy navigation" and a color-coded map to locate gas prices across the country: http://gasprices.aaa.com/.
