State gas price average stays mostly steady
The average price of gasoline in New York is $3.08 per gallon, down 0.6 cents from last week, and the national average is down 4.8 cents from a week ago standing at $3.13. According to GasBuddy data, the national average is up 3.1 cents from a month ago and 43.0 cents lower than a year ago. Prices in New York State are 3.6 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and 56.6 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. 'While the national average didn't fall quite as far as anticipated for Memorial Day, it was still one of the most affordable since 2021 — and, when adjusted for inflation, among the cheapest in nearly a decade,' Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said. 'As we move into the heart of summer, I believe we're likely to see a relatively stable stretch for gas prices as refinery maintenance wraps up. Don't expect the national average to rise above $3.30 per gallon, nor drop much below $3 for now. While refining issues on the West Coast are beginning to ease, several factors could still influence prices in the weeks ahead — including growing uncertainty around the upcoming hurricane season. We'll also be watching OPEC+'s meeting this week to see if they boost oil production again for July as well.' The top 10% of gas stations have a reported average of $4.60 per gallon and the bottom averaging $2.54. California has the highest average price per gallon at $4.77, followed by Hawaii at $4.46 and Washington at $4.35 The state with the lowest average price is Mississippi at $2.62 per gallon, Louisiana at $2.62 and Alabama at $2.71. The most common price per gallon encountered by motorists in the US remains unchanged at $2.99. As of Tuesday, May 27 these are the reported prices per gallon from stations around the North Country.

Do You Really Need Fuel Detergent in Your Car?
In today's market, premium gasoline is marketed as the gold standard for engine care. Branded options like Shell V-Power, Chevron Techron, and Mobil Synergy tout built-in detergents that help clean your engine as you drive. But here's the inconvenient truth: even these top-tier fuels might not be enough to fully protect your engine from harmful carbon build-up. That's where dedicated fuel detergents come in—an inexpensive, often overlooked maintenance step that can pay dividends in performance, longevity, and efficiency. Top-tier gasoline brands do include detergents formulated to keep your fuel injectors and combustion chambers relatively clean. These additives are regulated and do a decent job of mitigating deposit formation. However, real-world driving conditions—like short trips, stop-and-go traffic, or high-load scenarios—can still lead to stubborn carbon build-up over time. Engines, particularly those with direct or port injection, are especially vulnerable, and even premium fuel won't always prevent long-term accumulation. What Makes Fuel Detergent Different? Unlike the general-purpose detergents found in branded fuel, dedicated fuel system cleaners are specifically designed to tackle heavy carbon deposits. These additives go deeper, dissolving gunk that regular fuel detergents might only touch superficially. When added to a full tank, they circulate through the fuel system, cleaning injectors, intake valves, and even the combustion chamber in some cases. For port-injected engines, they can clear intake runners and valves—components often neglected by standard fuel additives. The Carbon Problem You Can't See Carbon build-up isn't just a minor nuisance; it's a silent threat to your engine's performance. Deposits on injectors can alter spray patterns, leading to incomplete combustion and increased fuel consumption. In the intake system, carbon can restrict airflow, causing rough idling, poor throttle response, and reduced power. Over time, untreated build-up can even trigger check-engine lights or fail emissions tests. The good news? A bottle of high-quality fuel detergent costs around $13 and can treat an entire tank. Used every 3,000 miles—or roughly every oil change—it becomes a low-cost preventative measure that adds up to just four cents per mile. That's an incredibly modest investment when compared to the cost of injector servicing or engine decarbonization procedures down the road. How to Work It Into Your Routine Experts recommend pairing your fuel detergent use with regular maintenance intervals. Adding a bottle at every oil change makes it easy to remember and keeps your fuel system in top shape without any additional hassle. Just make sure you're also consistently using top-tier gasoline, as this dual approach maximizes cleaning power and minimizes risk. Relying solely on premium gasoline may offer a false sense of security. To truly preserve engine performance and efficiency, periodic use of a dedicated fuel detergent is a smart, cost-effective move. Think of it as a form of mechanical hygiene—simple, affordable, and essential for any car owner who wants to keep their vehicle running like new for years to come.

Petrol price wars see cost of fuel drop to $2.12 a litre
U-Go self-service stations in Auckland are offering 91 unleaded at $2.23 a litre. File photo. Photo: Marika Khabazi Petrol price battles in Auckland - sparked by a new no-frills service station on the market - have seen prices fall as low as $2.12 a litre in some suburbs, but do not expect the big savings to last for long, says a fuel price expert. There are now nine U-Go self-service stations in Auckland, offering 91 unleaded at $2.23 a litre, when the average is about $2.51. In one Auckland suburb, the cheaper petrol led to an opposition gas station dropping the price as low as $2.12 over the weekend. But Automobile Association principal policy advisor Terry Collins warned motorists that those kind of prices would not last for long. He said U-Go has entered the market by dropping the price down low in a similar way to supermarkets with their loss leaders, where certain products are sold at cost. "I think they've got very close to that margin and a neighbouring Mobil service station, rather than lose clients, responded by dropping their prices. "If it is around $2.12, I don't think it's sustainable, but look, long may it continue if they do want to get into short-term price wars like that. I just think under $2.20 is a really good price." He told Checkpoint that the stations would be trying things like larger discounts over the weekend to see what happens with their volume of sales. "They just want to get some new clientele, it's a pretty irresistible offer when you offer it at that price. "I couldn't imagine it happening every weekend, but we do know they are competitive, they will have specials, they will have discounts, and they're basically trying to maintain volume in tough economic conditions." While U-Go stations were only currently operational in Auckland, motorists could expect to see more of them throughout the country, as more Caltex stations are converted to the low-cost model. "What it's proven is that these low cost operators, consumers really like them, and now there is a definite niche in the market for them, we've got Allied, NPD, Gull, U-Go. They seem to be a growing segment of the market which provide cheaper fuel." Collins said oil prices on the international market had stabilised around $65 a barrel. "With the US administration causing a bit of mayhem in the market, there is more bang for buck with US dollars, and oil prices are cheaper around the $60-65 mark." Z Energy, which owns the U-Go brand, did not directly respond to questions about whether the lower price was here to stay, saying pricing was localised and could be different at each site, depending on factors like competition.

On The Up: Napier service station owner celebrates Mobil award on 94th birthday
'It's been a long time,' Young laughed. 'We've had our hard times, of course, but I was young when I was just starting off, and it's something different for a Chinese mechanic to start a garage. 'I think it has its rewards, but the one thing about it, we are very, very humble and we do our best.' Now the business is run with the help of Young's son Ashley and features a team of 30 staff. It offers car and truck repairs, parts and warrants of fitness, and features four pumps and a well-stocked Mobil service station. 'You do your best while you can and the reward you get is from customers saying thank you, you did a good job,' Young said. 'Now that's the best reward I can think of for any business, to be appreciated by your customers. 'I do feel proud, not for myself but for all the staff because they're the ones that do the work. You can tell them what you want them to do and how to do it, but they are the ones that should be rewarded. I'm very happy and very proud of my staff here.'
