Cortland County remains well above the state average, at $3.75 per gallon. Surrounding counties to Cortland see much lower averages for gas.
Even with demand for gas increasing due to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, prices are expected to remain steady as oil prices remain near $70 per barrel as fears of a global economic recession are still in view.
