We are 50 cents over national average, I realize that we have higher taxes and such, but this is a bit much. Regular unleaded that I have seen around home/work has been between 3.75 and 3.80.
Gas in CA is cheaper in some parts then all of NY.
WNY especially though I have noticed is consistently high compared to CNY. I gassed up at $3.39 last night in Syracuse, at least 30 cents cheaper than the stations I saw in Williamsville earlier in the day.
Yea I was Ohio yesterday and thought the sane thing. Gas was between 3.08 and 3.20.
I blame Canada haha. Cause 3.80 here is probably a lot less than they are paying in Canada. And I see more cars with Canadian plates than Nys plates haha
im suprised at gas prices for some areas, i realize other areas are cheaper but i dont remember ohio or syracuse being that much cheaper compared to here from the last few times i was to either area. are gas prices in WNY not going down with the average like other areas?
Not sure why we in Erie county still pay the stupid taxes on gas that others do not. Why doesnt this get brought up in the public eye in this area more to get someone in office that will fight to lower/remove that tax that we have special that gives us higher prices.
Pretty much because if you cut taxes in one place, they’d have to raise the money some other way. How do they do that? Another type of tax. So why bother.
This way they collect on it from anyone passing through. Not just permanent residents.
Buffalo and Erie county are broke. That’s why we pay.
