The price for gasoline continues to increase in Massachusetts. The average price per gallon of regular unleaded is now $2.12, which is two cents more than last week, according to the travel association AAA Northeast.
This is five cents higher than a month ago when the price was $2.07 per gallon of regular unleaded in Massachusetts.
The price for gas in Massachusetts remains lower than the national average, which is four cents higher at $2.16 per gallon of regular unleaded.
“Gasoline demand is down 14% year-over-year. The numbers we are seeing as of late are very similar to readings from May when many states were locked down and demand was very low,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast spokesperson. “The fact is, Americans are filling-up less as states re-introduce travel restrictions and the [coronavirus] pandemic lingers.”
