The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline dropped three cents in Massachusetts since last week to $3.32, while national prices jumped seven cents in the same time period.
Prices in Massachusetts remain higher than the national average of $3.28 while neighbors Rhode Island and Connecticut are below that figure, according to a Monday press release from the travel association AAA Northeast.
“As we head toward February, pump prices will likely dip, barring any jolt in the global oil market,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast vice president of public and government affairs in a Monday press release. “But it is still possible that the national average prices we saw heading into Christmas may have been the lows for this winter.”
