FRAMINGHAM – The average gas price in Massachusetts is up 7 cents from last week ($3.77), averaging $3.84 per gallon, according to AAA Northeast which has an office in Framingham.

Today’s price is 38 cents higher than a month ago ($3.53), and 44 cents higher than November 7, 2021 ($3.40).

Massachusetts’ average gas price is 4 cents higher than the national average.

Despite fewer U.S. drivers fueling up, the national average pump price rose four cents over the past week to hit $3.80. Rising oil prices fueled by worries over Russian oil production cuts have renewed concerns about global supplies.

“The oil market, like the stock market, hates negative headlines, no matter how spec,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Vice President of Public and Government Affairs, in a press release. “And that is why we see the oil price back over $90 a barrel. More expensive oil usually leads to more expensive gasoline.”

AAA Northeast’s November 7 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 4 cents higher than last week ($3.76), averaging $3.80 a gallon.

Today’s national average price is 9 cents higher than a month ago ($3.89), and 38 cents higher than this day last year ($3.42).
