Bay State gasoline prices continue to drop; down nine cents in last month

WESTWOOD, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — The price of gasoline continues to fall here in Massachusetts, according to AAA Northeast.

The average price for a gallon of regular is now $3.51, two cents lower than last week. That price is also nine cents lower than a month ago. The Massachusetts price is two cents lower than the national average.

“Ample supplies of gasoline and strong domestic production are key factors in the recent price declines, buoyed by tepid demand so far this year,” said Mark Schieldrop of AAA Northeast. “If production continues at its current clip, even spectacular demand might do little to move pump prices higher.”
