With the price of crude oil dropping, so is the price of gasoline nationwide. You can find out where the gas is cheapest in your neighborhood at gasbuddy.com. In the Syracuse area, the cheapest gas is at the Kwik Fill on Route 31 in Cicero, just off of 81, at 2.93 per gallon.
“Well everybody hopes it’ll stay down. I mean it puts a big press on everybody’s pocketbook,” says Patrick Keefer. Having once had to pay around one-hundred dollars to fill the tank in his pickup truck, Keefer adds, “I don’t really fill it up every week but I got change left over.” Others enjoy the relief at the pump, but weren’t so optimistic about the future of gasoline prices. “It’s a good psychological barrier were under three. For how long who knows” added Paul Powers of Cicero.
At AAA, everyone is just hoping that people are more willing to travel now that they may save some money. Diana Dibble, the Public Affairs Manager for AAA Western and Central New York says gas prices are down because as summer ended, the demand has dropped. “We haven’t noticed anything immediately. We do realize that the gas prices being on the decline may encourage people to travel later into the year of for the holidays” but added that not formal research has been conducted, but will take place prior to Thanksgiving.
As gasbuddy.com gives the cheapest locations for gasoline, it also gives the most expensive, which at the time was a Mobile station on the West side, pushing the 3.60 mark. The only thing of note there was that there were few customers, proving that people are willing to drive further to get cheaper gas.
