Yep, gasoline prices have gone up
The blue line is the reported Albany area average price per gallon, the red the reported national average price.
Today's chart: From AlbanyGasPrices.com, it's a chart of Albany area gasoline prices over the last year.
In what's been painfully obvious if you've been filling up recently, there's a been a steep rise since December -- about 15 percent. But the recent run up follows what was more or less 8 months of declines. In fact, prices are still a bit below last year's high in April.
By the way: There are a handful of stations charging more than $4/gallon, according to AlbanyGasPrice.com's crowd-sourced reports -- including a station in Guilderland reportedly charging $4.16. The lowest price reported today in the core Capital Region was 3.83 in in Ballston Spa.
Taxes: The combined state and federal tax on a gallon of gasoline in New York State is 67.4 cents -- the highest in the nation. California and Connecticut are tied for #2 at 67 cents. [API]

Huh... I have my own chart...
Car
I guess it at least generally agrees... I have two very fussy vehicles ;) Also, those odd, precipitous drops are my very thankful sunoco/price chopper gas discounts. YAY!!!! ;)
One more thing... Yes, I've missed tracking a few fill ups here and there, but... it's still getting more pricey.
