A year ago at this time, the average price in Massachusetts was 9 cents lower at $2.35 per gallon.
“Prices locally are already down 10 cents from just the start of the year,” said Mary Maguire, Director, Public and Legislative Affairs, in a media release. “Continued strong supplies and less, wintertime, demand, is a good sign for motorists heading into the second half of February.”
