Local gas prices rose about three cents to $3.84 a gallon, according to AAA East Central.
The average price for a gallon of gas in Lockport was $3.842 over the past week, as compared to $3.816 a week ago and $3.682 this time a year ago.
The national average price of gas has stopped increasing as we approach the Independence Day holiday, though prices remains at a six-year high for this time of year. Today’s national average for regular unleaded gasoline is $3.67 per gallon. The price has remained relatively stable over the past seven days, and the current price is about the same as a month ago.
Consumers have seen little fluctuation in the national average for the month of June; however the current price at the pump is 19 cents more than at this time last year ($3.49). In comparison to previous Independence Day holidays, motorists will face prices that are the highest since 2008, with today’s average ($3.68) surpassing the holiday’s price per gallon from: 2013 ($3.48); 2012 ($3.34); 2011 ($3.57); 2010 ($2.74); and 2009 ($2.62).
The situation in Iraq continues to put pressure on global oil prices, as markets weigh the potential for supply disruptions from OPEC’s second largest producer. These elevated oil prices have meant stubbornly high retail gasoline prices for motorists.
At the close of formal trading on the NYMEX on Monday, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil settled 37 cents lower at $105.37.
