How we measured this
- Prices: LIT collects GasBuddy’s Long Island station prices twice a day and keeps every reported price. For each station we use its most recent regular price reported between September 27 and October 3 (Eastern).
- Week-over-week change is measured only at stations that also reported a price between September 20 and September 26, comparing each station with itself.
- Town figures include only towns with at least 3 reporting stations. Reports below $1 or above $10 a gallon are discarded as entry errors.
Limitations
- GasBuddy prices are reported by drivers and stations; a price can be hours or days old, and not every station reports every week.
- Averages are simple station averages, not weighted by how much fuel each station sells.
- The table shows the price reported at a station during the week, not a guarantee of the price at the pump today.
