MA gas prices drop 7 cents.

Gas prices in Massachusetts have dropped seven cents compared to last week, according to AAA Northeast.

“Pump prices are declining significantly as the global economy faces downward pressure from COVID-19 fears and the ongoing crude price war between Russia and OPEC nations. Consumers can expect to see continued savings as the industry factors in a fully 50% decrease in the price of a barrel of oil since mid-January,” said Mary Maguire, Director, Public and Legislative Affairs.

AAA Northeast’s March 16 survey of prices in Massachusetts finds self-serve, regular unleaded averaging $2.29 per gallon.

Massachusetts’s price is four cents above the national average of $2.25.

A year ago at this time, the average price in Massachusetts was 15 cents higher at $2.44 per gallon.

Today’s local gas prices and their ranges are as follows:

Self Serve Grade

$2.29 ($1.99-$2.69) Regular Unleaded

$2.79 ($2.29-$3.19) Midgrade Unleaded

$2.88 ($2.49-$3.45) Premium Unleaded

$2.82 ($2.59-$3.29) Diesel
