Regular gasoline in New York averages $4.04 per gallon as of the EIA week of 2026-08-10 — $0.04 above the national average of $4.01. New York layers state excise, sales and petroleum-business taxes into one of the higher fuel-tax burdens in the country, and the downstate market pays extra for reformulated gasoline and dense-urban distribution costs. Supply arrives mostly by pipeline and barge from the Gulf Coast and by import, adding freight to the price.
