Gas Prices Expected to Dip Below $2 Per Gallon: AAA

Written by LANNING TALIAFERRO (Patch Staff) and WENDY ANN MITCHELL (Patch Staff)

Gas prices are at the lowest nationwide that they’ve been in years, according to the Automobile Club of America. They should soon fall below the $2 per gallon mark for the first time since 2009.

That’s nationwide, of course, though we can always hope.

In New York, the average is $2.29.

Prices at Westchester gas stations are all over the place, according to Gas Buddy -- from $2.19 at the Shell station in Ossining at Belle and Croton avenues to $2.79 at the Shell station at Woodbine and South Greeley avenues in Chappaqua.

Of course, you don’t have to go far to find prices under $2. Connecticut is headed there fast. Gas is down to $1.99 at several Danbury stations, such as the Mobil at Newtown and Pocono roads.

Here’s how you can search for up-to-date local gas prices:
