Greater Worcester gasoline prices have been falling in the past two weeks.
The average gasoline price in Massachusetts has increased by 3 cents on Monday from the previous Monday's price, as it now stands at $2.77 per gallon of regular unleaded, according to travel association AAA Northeast.
This price is 1 cent higher than a month ago ($2.76), and 83 cents higher than April 26, 2020 ($1.94).
“Both demand and supply have steadily increased over the last several weeks,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast director of public and government affairs. “The jump in demand combined with a small increase in supply pushed the national gas price average 2 cents more expensive on the week to $2.88. This is the largest one-week national jump we’ve seen in five weeks.”
The average gas price in Massachusetts is 11 cents lower than the national average. AAA Northeast’s Monday survey of fuel prices found the national average to be 1 cent higher than last week ($2.87), averaging $2.88 a gallon.
Today’s national average price is 2 cents higher than a month ago ($2.86), and $1.11 higher than this day last year ($1.77).
