According to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, at the beginning of October, the average price of a gallon of regular in New York was $2.16, it’s currently at $2.83. During the same time period a year ago, it went down from $2.62 to $2.49. Mahoney says electric cars are not yet plentiful enough to make a dent in gas price fluctuations. He says a gallon of gas could reach as high as $3.75 this summer.
