Thanksgiving Gas in New York at Highest Point in Nearly Decade

As New Yorkers get ready to travel for Thanksgiving, they will pay a lot more at the pump than in recent years.

Residents that are planning to travel over the next few days will still be paying a lot at the pump.

According to Triple-A, the average cost for a gallon of regular gas in New York is now $3.56. That's the highest gas has been in New York for Thanksgiving in at least seven years.

One year ago, gas in New York cost $2.218.

Below are the updated averages from across New York State, according to Triple-A:
