Gas Drops Below $4 in Tarrytown

TARRYTOWN, N.Y.--Daniel Greenburg always looks for the cheapest price when he has to fill up his car with gas.

Greenburg gets a Stop ‘N Shop discount at the Tarrytown Shell Station, so that’s why he was buying gas there Thursday afternoon. He saved 30 cents a gallon.

For most of June, the price of gas had been more than $4 a gallon, causing many to tighten their belts and drive less. But recently that price has gone down.

In Tarrytown Thursday, the lowest advertised price for a gallon of regular gas was at the Shell Gas Station off of Route 9. Shell was selling gas for $3.93 a gallon at the cash price. The Hess gas station was selling gas at $3.97 a gallon. The Mobil Station advertised gas for $4.01. In Irvington, the Shell Gas Station was advertising gas for $3.99 a gallon.

Greenburg said he didn’t change his driving habits when gas was more than $4 and he hasn’t driven more now that gas is less than $4.

“If have to drive someplace, I will,” he said.

But he admitted the price reduction wasn’t a bad thing.

“It makes it a little better,” he said. “It’s still expensive; I remember when it was 15 cents a gallon—and that was way long ago.”
