A year ago at this time, the average price in Massachusetts was 61 cents higher at $2.64 per gallon.

“Demand levels are likely to ebb and flow in the coming weeks as people continue to be cautious about travel,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director, Public and Legislative Affairs, in a press release. “As a result, pump prices will likely continue to increase, but at a slower rate through the end of the month.”

The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 60 cents, from a low of $1.79 to a high of $2.39.
