A year ago at this time, the average price in Massachusetts was 7 cents lower at $2.36 per gallon.
“Healthy stock levels and cheaper crude prices have alleviated pain at the pump,” said Mary Maguire, Director, Public and Legislative Affairs, in a press release. “However, maintenance season and the upcoming switchover to summer blends could break the downward trend in coming weeks. At the same time, we are also watching the impact of the coronavirus and what that could do to demand.”
