FRAMINGHAM – The average gas price in Massachusetts is up 2 cents from last week ($3.25), averaging $3.27 per gallon, according to AAA Northeast, which has an office in Framingham.
Today’s price is 1 cent lower than a month ago ($3.28), and 92 cents lower than April 3, 2022 ($4.19).
Massachusetts’ average gas price is 23 cents lower than the national average.
The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline rose seven cents since last week to hit $3.50.
Robust demand for gasoline and rising oil prices are the driving factors for the recent uptick in pump prices.

“Oil prices finally crested and have now settled above the $70 per barrel mark after weeks of hovering just below it,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Vice President of Public and Government Affairs, “and gas demand is very robust. These two factors will cause drivers to see prices increase for now. We will also be watching closely to see how much oil production cuts by OPEC nations will impact oil and gas prices.”
AAA Northeast’s April 3 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 7 cents higher than last week ($3.43), averaging $3.50 a gallon.
Today’s national average price is 11 cents higher than a month ago ($3.39), and is 69 cents lower than this day last year ($4.19).
