The 10 Cheapest Gas Stations in the Hudson Valley Right Now

Gas prices have been creeping up across the Hudson Valley, but there are still some gas stations left where you can score a deal.

If you’ve filled up lately in Dutchess, Orange or Ulster County, you may have already felt the change. Prices that dipped earlier in the winter are beginning to climb again as spring approaches.

Analysts say one of the biggest reasons for the recent spike is growing instability in Iraq, one of the world’s major oil producers. Tensions in the region have raised concerns about possible supply disruptions, which has pushed global oil prices higher. When crude oil goes up, gasoline prices tend to follow.
