Gowanda gas watch: Kwik Fill still posts $3.05 gas, $3.99 diesel

Gowanda drivers still have a low posted price on Buffalo Street. MapQuest’s listing for Kwik Fill at 290 Buffalo St shows regular gas at $3.05 a gallon and diesel at $3.99, and the page says the fuel prices were updated three weeks ago.

That keeps both fuels below AAA’s current New York averages of $4.24 for regular and $5.615 for diesel. The station is also below the Buffalo-Niagara Falls averages of $4.367 for regular and $5.749 for diesel. For broader context, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest weekly averages show $4.052 for regular gas and $5.059 for diesel nationwide.

Compared with the last Gowanda check, the posted prices are unchanged. That makes the Buffalo Street Kwik Fill a useful benchmark for local price shoppers who are deciding whether to top off in town or wait.

The difference matters most for commuters, contractors, delivery drivers, households, restaurant operators, farm and service vehicles, and anyone putting on steady miles. On a 20-gallon fill-up, the Gowanda regular price is about $26 below the Buffalo-area regular average, and the diesel price is about $35 below the Buffalo-area diesel average.

If you’re seeing a better deal — or the highest price in town — send it along. Readers always help surface the lowest and highest pump prices locally.
