Gas prices in New York City, NY

About gas prices in New York City, NY

New York City sits at the end of the Northeast gasoline supply chain. The nearest refining capacity (Bayway in Linden NJ) supplies the metro through pipeline and harbor terminals, but most New York City gasoline arrives via Colonial Pipeline from Gulf Coast refineries and tanker imports through New York Harbor. Reformulated gasoline is required through summer ozone season. New York state gas tax is around 47 cents per gallon (including local sales tax). NYC typically runs 30 to 50 cents above the national average, with significant intra-city variation: Manhattan stations almost always sit at the top of the market, while drivers willing to fill in Queens (Astoria, Flushing) or the Bronx (Throggs Neck) typically save 25 to 40 cents per gallon. Costco locations in Long Island City and Brooklyn Sunset Park plus BJ's Wholesale locations across the Bronx and Queens post the lowest pricing most weeks, with Mobil and Shell dominating Manhattan freeway-adjacent stations.
