Quick answer: New York State’s current AAA average for regular gasoline is about $4.31 per gallon. That is a statewide benchmark, not a guaranteed NYC pump price. Prices can differ by borough, neighborhood, brand, payment method, and reporting time.

Find Gas Stations in New York City on the Map

Zoom into your borough or neighborhood and open an individual listing for directions. If you are already on the road, choose a safe place to stop before using your phone. A station that looks close in a straight line may require a longer drive because of one-way streets, divided roads, bridge approaches, tunnels, or restricted turns.

Map listings cover all five boroughs. Hours, fuel availability, and prices can change, so confirm important details with the individual location.

Current New York Gas Price Snapshot

AAA publishes changing fuel-price averages for New York State and the United States. The figures below were checked on September 5, 2026. Use them as a broad comparison point, then verify the station-level price shown on the pump.

Fuel grade	New York State	U.S. average
Regular	$4.3065	$4.1459
Mid-grade	$4.8333	$4.6547
Premium	$5.2241	$5.0376
Diesel	$5.9118	$5.8819

Important: These are averages, not live quotes for every NYC station. A map or app may show a user-reported price that is already several hours old. Also check whether the displayed figure requires cash, a membership, a loyalty account, or a specific payment method.

Can You Pump Your Own Gas in New York City?

Yes, self-service gasoline stations are permitted in New York City. The previous version of this guide incorrectly said New York was a full-service-only state. The FDNY regulates both full-service and self-service motor-fuel dispensing facilities. Follow the instructions posted at the pump and do not leave the nozzle unattended.

New Jersey has different rules and is known for attendant service. If you compare an NYC station with one across the Hudson, include the bridge or tunnel toll, traffic, travel time, and fuel used during the detour. A slightly lower posted price may not produce a real saving.

Gas Prices by NYC Borough

No borough is guaranteed to be cheapest every day. Station density, real-estate costs, delivery access, competition, traffic, and payment conditions all affect the price. Compare stations on your actual route rather than relying on a fixed borough ranking.

Manhattan

Manhattan has relatively few fuel stations and difficult road access. Check the entrance direction and current price before committing to a stop. If you are entering Manhattan from another borough and already need fuel, compare stations before the bridge or tunnel without making an unsafe detour.

Brooklyn

Brooklyn options are spread across busy commercial roads and neighborhood corridors. Traffic and one-way streets can make the shortest map distance misleading. Compare driving time as well as the listed price.

Queens

Queens has many driving corridors, airport routes, and highway connections. Competition can create useful choices, but airport-area traffic may add time. Check access from your side of the road and avoid crossing several lanes for a small price difference.

The Bronx

Stations near major roads may be convenient for through traffic. Confirm whether the entrance works for your direction of travel, especially around highway ramps and divided streets.

Staten Island

Staten Island drivers may compare local stations with New Jersey locations, but tolls and route conditions can outweigh a small difference per gallon. Calculate the full trip cost before making a special fuel run.

How to Find Cheap Gas in NYC

Compare stations already on your route. Avoid a long detour unless the total saving clearly exceeds the extra driving cost.
Check the report time. Give more weight to recently updated station prices.
Compare cash and credit prices. Some locations display a lower cash price more prominently.
Read membership conditions. A warehouse-club or loyalty price may not be available to every driver.
Multiply before driving farther. Price difference per gallon multiplied by gallons needed equals the maximum pump saving.

For example, a station that is $0.10 cheaper saves at most $1.20 on a 12-gallon purchase. Extra mileage, tolls, and time can remove that advantage. See our full cheap gas near me guide for a practical comparison method.

Find 24-Hour Gas Stations in NYC

Use the map’s hours filter, but remember that open now and open 24 hours are not the same. Pumps may remain available while the attached store, restroom, or service counter is closed. Holiday schedules, maintenance, severe weather, and local operating changes can also affect availability.

If you need fuel late at night, check the individual listing and choose a well-lit location on a safe route. Our 24-hour gas station guide explains how to verify overnight access.

Diesel, Premium, and E85 in New York City

Not every gas station carries every fuel. Use the grade required or recommended in your vehicle owner’s manual. Higher octane is not automatically better for a car designed for regular gasoline.

Diesel: filter specifically for diesel before driving over. Start with our diesel gas station locator guide.
Premium: verify the octane shown at the pump and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s guidance.
E85: use E85 only in a compatible flex-fuel vehicle. Check our E85 station guide and the U.S. Department of Energy station locator.

Gas Stations With Air, Restrooms, or a Store

A location listing may mention amenities, but availability can change. An air machine may be temporarily out of service, a restroom may close before the pumps, and a convenience store can follow different hours from the forecourt.

If tire pressure is the main reason for your stop, see our gas stations with free air guide. A rapidly deflating or visibly damaged tire may require roadside assistance or professional repair rather than a simple refill.

Popular Gas-Station Brands in NYC

Brand preference can matter when you use a rewards program or a particular payment method. Services still vary by independently operated location, so inspect the station listing rather than assuming every site is identical.

How We Verified This NYC Gas-Station Guide

For the September 5, 2026 review, we checked the map experience, AAA’s current New York and national fuel averages, the FDNY description of permitted motor-fuel dispensing facilities, and the U.S. Department of Energy alternative-fuel locator. We removed unsupported borough price guarantees and corrected the previous statement about self-service fueling in New York.

Station prices, hours, inventory, and amenities can change after publication. External price tools are provided for comparison, but the price displayed at the pump when you arrive controls the purchase.
