ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — Ithaca’s gas prices now start with the number four.

Triple A says the average price has reached four dollars a gallon. That’s an increase of eight cents since last Monday, March 30. New York’s average price jumped 14 cents since last week for an average of $4.07.

“Crude oil prices remain high, coming in at $108-$109 per barrel this morning, as the conflict in the Middle East continues. In 2022, gas prices remained elevated from March through August, after Russia invaded Ukraine, peaking in June when the national average reached a record of $5/gallon for one week,” according to AAA.

Diesel prices in New York are $5.91, which is up 16 cents in the last week.
