FRAMINGHAM – Massachusetts’s average gas price is the same as last week, averaging $2.74 per gallon. 

Today’s price is 2 cents lower than a month ago ($2.76), and 77 cents higher than April 19, 2020 ($1.97).

Massachusetts’s average gas price is 13 cents lower than the national average.

“Refinery utilization is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels, and with gasoline supplies increasing in the last month amid lower crude oil prices, motorists have benefited from mostly flat gas prices,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public and Government Affairs, in a press release. “However, crude started to see some upward movement this week, which could translate to small increases at the pump by the end of April.”
