West Islip No Longer Home to LI's Lowest Priced Gas

A Bay Shore gas station has taken over the reigns as the home of Long Island's cheapest regular gas, a title the Valero station in West Islip has held for nearly three weeks.

According to LongIslandGasPrices.com, the Valero station, located at 225 Higbie Lane and West Islip Boulevard, now offers the fourth lowest price for regular on the island, at $2.69 per gallon, up 8 cents from last week. Cash or a Valero card must be used in order to receive that price.

The Delta (305 Union Blvd & Higbie Lane) and Gas Stop (268 Higbie Lane & Paumanake Avenue) stations both offer the second lowest price in town, at $2.69 per gallon. However, residents don't have to travel far to receive the cheapest price from Queens to Montauk;  the Millenium station in Bay Shore is offering customers regular for $2.57 per gallon.

Still, Valero, Delta and Gas Stop all offer gas that's more inexpensive than the Long Island and New York averages of $2.78 and $2.79, respectively. All three stations charge the same for midgrade ($2.79), while Valero is home to the cheapest premium price ($2.87). 

The most expensive price for regular gas can be found at Mobile stations in Smithtown, Westbury and Centerreach, where they're charging $3.29 per gallon.
