Massachusetts Gas Prices Fall Sharply - Says AAA
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
AAA’s most recent survey of gas prices in Massachusetts found that self-serve, regular unleaded was averaging $2.68/gallon, down from last week’s $2.78/gallon. Local prices are 25 cents lower than they were only a month ago and 75 cents lower than the average price for gas in Massachusetts this time last year ($3.43/gallon).
The current price of regular unleaded gasoline is also 13 cents below the national average for self serve ($2.55/gallon).
The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 61 cents, from a low of $2.48 to a high of $3.09. AAA advises motorists to shop around for the best prices in their area, and to make sure they and their passengers buckle up — every trip, every time.
Today’s local gas prices and their ranges are as follows:
Self Serve Grade
$2.689 ($2.489-$3.099) Regular Unleaded
$2.959 ($2.599-$3.399) Midgrade Unleaded

AAA Fuel Saving Tip of the Week
Check the air and fuel filters at least twice a year. Dirty filters increase fuel consumption and can cause poor performance.
