Cheapest Gas Near Me: Find Lowest Price Near Peekskill, Cortlandt

PEEKSKILL, NY — Soaring oil prices mean more pain at the pump for New York residents, with the average gas price for regular already above the $4 mark across the state.

Regular gas prices in Westchester were already well above the statewide average of $4.05 on Friday. In White Plains, the average price for regular was $4.10 per gallon and rising.

The increases are especially sharp considering that the average gas price in New York was just $2.80 a year ago.

But you can still save a little bit if you know where to look in Peekskill and Cortlandt Manor.

According to GasBuddy, the cheapest gas in Peekskill is selling for $3.77 per gallon at two gas stations.

Here are some places you can save in and around Peekskill and Cortlandt Manor:

• CITGO, 529 Highland Ave., Peekskill, $3.77 per gallon
• CITGO, 925 Washington St. Peekskill, $3.77 per gallon
• Mobil, 2225 Crompond Rd., Cortlandt Manor, $3.79 per gallon
• Shell, 3709 Crompond Rd., Cortlandt Manor, $3.89 per gallon

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.
