WPCNR GASOLINE ALLEY. From Westchester Department of Communications. October 10, 2006: Gas prices are near their lowest point this year, according to the latest gasoline price survey conducted by the Westchester County Office of Consumer Protection. The survey of 351 stations in the county, done this week, found the average price for regular gasoline was $2.602.
“Finally good news for drivers,” said County Executive Andy Spano. “Prices have been going down for the past two months, but there is still a great difference station to station. Drivers looking for the best deal should check our price survey.”
The survey is posted on the county’s website at www.westchestergov.com . The survey results are also available from the voice- activated info line at (914)995-8710.
Gary Brown, the new director of Consumer Protection for the county, said prices are down almost 50 cents from last month and 20 cents from a year ago. He noted that the lowest price found was $2.319 at three stations along Central Park Avenue in Greenburgh (Edgemont area), with other low prices elsewhere along the same road.
Brown added, ‘With the heating season upon us, users of home heating oil can find valuable information about oil companies and the services they offer on the home-heating oil survey webpage also found on our website. We will resume our surveys of these prices as well later this month.”
The monthly gas price survey includes all Westchester gas stations. Information is survey about the prices of regular, plus and premium prices as well as any “specials” the station may have on certain days.
