Gasoline prices fell 16 cents in Worcester County between early August and early September.
In congruence with the statewide average, the price of gasoline in Worcester County decreased since Aug. 10.
Dropping 16 cents from a month ago, the average price of regular unleaded gasoline in Worcester County fell from $3.42 per gallon to $3.26 as of Tuesday. The region’s average is the same as the state’s, which dropped 17 cents from its $3.43 average on Aug. 10, according to the travel association AAA Northeast.
The current Worcester County average is 48 cents lower than it was a year ago when the average gas price sat at $3.73 per gallon, a price 1 cent lower than the state’s $3.74 average from a year ago.
AAA Northeast credits falling gas prices to the end of summer, resulting in increased supply, cheaper crude, and decreased demand.
“That’s a recipe for falling gas prices,” Mark Schieldrop, senior spokesperson, AAA Northeast senior spokesperson, said in the release.
The state and region’s average gas price are 1 cent lower than the nation’s average of $3.27 per gallon, an average 18 cents lower than a month ago and 55 cents lower than last year.
