Despite prices continuing to be lower than the national average, cost of gas in Massachusetts climbs for second straight week
Westwood, MA – Despite gas prices in Massachusetts still hovering below the national average, the cost of a gallon of gas increased in the Bay State for the second straight week.
According to AAA, the average gas price in Massachusetts is up 6 cents from last week ($3.37), averaging $3.43 per gallon. Today’s price is 7 cents lower than a month ago ($3.36), and 4 cents higher than January 30, 2022 ($3.39). Massachusetts’ average gas price is 7 cents lower than the national average.
“January’s weather was relatively mild in much of the nation, which led to more drivers hitting the road. However, a return of wintery conditions in February may see a revival of seasonal driving patterns,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Vice President of Public and Government Affairs. “But with the cost of oil stubbornly hovering around $80 per barrel, drivers probably won’t catch a big break at the pump over the next week or two.”
AAA Northeast’s January 30 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 8 cents higher than last week ($3.42), averaging $3.50 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 33 cents higher than a month ago ($3.17), and is 14 cents higher than this day last year ($3.36).
