Gas Prices In Massachusetts Down Another 2 Cents

MASSACHUSETTS — There's a little more relief at the pump, as gas prices trickled down another two cents this week, and six cents lower over the last two weeks.

AAA’s Jan. 23 survey of prices in Massachusetts finds self-serve, regular unleaded averaging $2.23 per gallon. The Massachusetts price is eight cents below the national average for regular unleaded of $2.31. A year ago at this time, the average price in Massachusetts was 39 cents lower at $1.84, said AAA.

“While all eyes remain on OPEC and their ability to ensure compliance with their production cut agreement, increased U.S. oil production could negatively impact the OPEC global oil rebalancing effort,” said Mary Maguire, director of public and legislative affairs for AAA Northeast, in a statement.

The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 29 cents, from a low of $2.10 to a high of $2.39, said the press release.

The latest local gas prices and their ranges are as follows:

Self Serve Grade

$2.23 ($2.10-$2.39) Regular Unleaded

$2.46 ($2.29-$2.62) Midgrade Unleaded

$2.64 ($2.39-$2.85) Premium Unleaded

$2.55 ($2.50-$2.75) Diesel
