Massachusetts’ average gas price is 1 cent higher than the national average.

“While prices continue to decrease in many regions of the country, lack of inventory and sustained demand here in the northeast are driving up our prices at the pump,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Vice President of Public and Government Affairs.

Today’s national average price is 3 cents lower than a month ago ($3.79), and 36 cents higher than this day last year ($3.40).
