FRAMINGHAM – The average gas price in Massachusetts is up 9 cents from last week ($3.39), averaging $3.48 per gallon, according to AA Northeast, which has an office in Framingham.

Today’s price is 22 cents higher than a month ago ($3.26), and 65 cents lower than April 24, 2022 ($4.13).

Massachusetts’ average gas price is 18 cents lower than the national average.

“The recent surge in oil costs took a break last week, with the price of oil tumbling back into the upper $70s per barrel,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Vice President of Public and Government Affairs, in a press release. “If this oil price trend continues, drivers may see falling gas prices sooner rather than later.”

AAA Northeast’s April 24 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 1 cent lower than last week ($3.67), averaging $3.66 a gallon.

Today’s national average price is 22 cents higher than a month ago ($3.44), and is 46 cents lower than this day last year ($4.12).
