FRAMINGHAM – Massachusetts’s average gas price is down 1 cent from last week ($3.05), averaging $3.04 per gallon. 

Today’s price is 2 cents higher than a month ago ($3.02), and 92 cents higher than August 23, 2020 ($2.12).

Massachusetts’s average gas price is 12 cents lower than the national average.

“Crude oil prices saw not only a dramatic drop on the week, but the price per barrel is at the cheapest in three months,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public and Government Affairs, in a press release. “If this downward trend continues and less expensive prices are sustained, Americans can expect to see relief at the pump in the near future.”
