(Franklin County, MA) The price of gasoline has dropped in Massachusetts after reaching record highs as oil prices soared amid Russia’s war on Ukraine. AAA Northeast said Monday the price of gasoline in Massachusetts is down 9 cents from last week, averaging $4.26 per gallon. Already, gasoline prices have hit record highs around the world. AAA said the lower prices locally are due to the global price of crude oil coming down since peaking when the war began, and demand dipping slightly.
