With the cost of gas rising rapidly across New York State, Republicans in the State Senate are asking Governor Hochul to take action.
They want the governor to suspend the state's tax on fuel in an effort to save drivers some money. The Empire State currently has the ninth-highest gas tax in the country at just over 46 cents a gallon. Right now, the average cost for a gallon of regular gas in the area is $3.42 which is up nine cents in the last week and 19 cents in the last month. The statewide average is sitting at $3.46 a gallon.
