FRAMINGHAM — The average gas price in Massachusetts is down 2 cents from last week ($3.29), averaging $3.27 per gallon, according to AAA Northeast, which has an office in Framingham off Route 9.

Today’s price is 15 cents lower than a month ago ($3.42), and 80 cents lower than March 6, 2022 ($4.07). Massachusetts’ average gas price is 13 cents lower than the national average.

“With demand up and inventories down in the region, some higher prices locally don’t come as a surprise,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Vice President of Public and Government Affairs, in a press release. “Another reason is that the seasonal switch to summer blend gasoline is underway, which may account for this bounce in pump prices.”

AAA Northeast’s March 6 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 4 cents higher than last week ($3.36), averaging $3.40 a gallon.

Today’s national average price is 7 cents lower than a month ago ($3.47), and is 60 cents lower than this day last year ($4.00).
