Cheapest Gas Near Me: Find Lowest Price In Long Beach

LONG BEACH, NY — Soaring oil prices mean more pain at the pump for New Yorkers, with the average gas price approaching the $4 mark across the state.

Gas prices in Nassau County were averaging $3.91 a gallon, according to AAA.

That's more than a seven-cent increase from the previous day.

In Long Beach, you can still save a little bit if you know where to look.

According to GasBuddy, the cheapest gas in Long Beach is $3.89 per gallon at the Mobil Gas Station at 203 E. Park Ave.

Here are some other places where you can save in Long Beach:

• $4.03 per gallon, Speedway at 450 Long Beach Rd.
• $4.09 per gallon, Mobil at 390 W. Park Ave.

The recent climb in pump prices primarily is attributable to the high cost of crude oil, according to AAA. Moderating winter weather and optimism over a possible decline in COVID-19 cases have led to an increase in gas demand.

"More drivers fueling up here coupled with a persistent tight supply of oil worldwide provides the recipe for higher prices at the pump," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a news release. "And unfortunately for consumers, it does not appear that this trend will change anytime soon."

At a news conference last week, GasBuddy representatives said gas prices could go up by as much as 50 cents in the coming months.
