At the pump
The chart above is from AlbanyGasPrices.com, the crowd-sourced gas prices site. It tracks the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the Albany area over the past year. The price has backed off during the last week or so, but it's still just about at the high for the last year.
If you go to the Albany Gas Prices site, you can graph the price against the national average (it tracks pretty closely) and crude oil prices -- and over different time spans, too.
AAA also tracks this data for the metro area, but without the graphs (and who doesn't love a graph).
The federal Energy Information Administration forecasted today that average gasoline prices will increase about four percent over the next year.
