FRAMINGHAM – Massachusetts’s average gas price is the same as last week, averaging $3.10 per gallon, according to AAA Northeast which has an office in Framingham.

Today’s price is 2 cents higher than a month ago ($3.08), and 1 dollar higher than October 4, 2020 ($2.10).

Massachusetts’s average gas price is 10 cents lower than the national average.

“Global economic uncertainty and supply chain concerns caused by the lingering COVID-19 pandemic could be playing a role in keeping crude oil prices elevated,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public Affairs, in a press release. “But there may be some relief on the horizon due to the news that OPEC and its allies might ramp up production increases faster than previously agreed.”
