With rising oil prices, you’re going to be paying more at the pump. But some motorists are paying more than others.
According to a local Fox News affiliate, drivers in the City That Never Sleeps are paying the highest prices for gasoline in the nation as prices have topped $5 per gallon in New York City.
Today, the national average price for regular gas is $2.947 per gallon, while the state’s average is $3.083.
For the most part, there are two factors that drive the cost of retail gas: oil prices and wholesale margins.
