AAA: Massachusetts Gas Prices Down 5 Cents This Week
A year ago the average price was nine cents higher than today's rates.
Despite last month’s concern that unrest in Iraq might affect the country’s oil production, leading to an increase in gas prices locally and nationally, prices at the pump have been declining over the past month.
Gasoline prices in Massachusetts are down 5 cents this week, according to AAA Southern New England.
In its July 21 survey of prices in Massachusetts, AAA found self-serve, regular unleaded averaging $3.62 per gallon, down five cents from last week. Prices locally are six cents lower than a month ago. The current price is five cents more than the national average for self serve unleaded of $3.57. A year ago at this time the Massachusetts average price was nine cents higher at $3.71.
