The average price of gasoline is down one cent per gallon of regular unleaded from last week in Massachusetts, according to a Monday report from travel organization AAA Northeast.
As of Monday, the average price per gallon is $2.11. This is seven cents lower than the national average which is $2.18 per gallon.
Last year at the same time, the average gas price in Massachusetts was up 49 cents at $2.60 per gallon.
“Low demand, even as gasoline stocks decline, has helped pump prices decline or hold steady on the week,” said Mark Schieldrop, spokesman AAA Northeast, in a press release. “That is likely to continue into the fall as the season sees fewer road trips, especially amid the pandemic.”
