FRAMINGHAM – Massachusetts’s average gas price is the same as last week, averaging $3.38 per gallon.

Massachusetts’s average gas price is 10 cents higher than the national average.
“Prices have been trending downward, which is good news for motorists,” says Mary Maguire, Director of Public/Government Affairs, in a press release. “Factors such as the continuing impact of COVID and the willingness of OPEC nations to increase oil production will play a role in what prices we see at the pumps throughout the first quarter of the year.”
AAA Northeast’s January 3 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be the same as last week, averaging $3.28 a gallon.
Today’s national average price is 9 cents lower than a month ago ($3.37), and $1.03 higher than this day last year ($2.25).
