Gas prices drop in Massachusetts for third consecutive week; Can it last?
Westwood, MA, July 5, 2022 — According to AAA, Massachusetts’s average gas price is down 8 cents from last week ($4.92), averaging $4.84 per gallon. Today’s price is 10 cents lower than a month ago ($4.94), and $1.84 higher than July 5, 2021 ($3.00). Massachusetts’s average gas price is 4 cents higher than the national average.
The national average for a gallon of gasoline fell to $4.80, down eight cents over the past week. The primary reason for the decline is lower demand at the pump as fewer people fueled up over the past two weeks. The lull, however, could end with the arrival of the summer driving season.
“Domestic gasoline demand dipped recently, which took some of the pressure off of pump prices. About 80% of stations are now selling regular for under $5 a gallon,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public and Government Affairs. “But July is typically the heaviest month for demand as more Americans hit the road, so this trend of easing prices may very well be short-lived.”
AAA Northeast’s July 5 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 8 cents lower than last week ($4.88), averaging $4.80 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 4 cents lower than a month ago ($4.84), and $1.67 higher than this day last year ($3.13).

Total lies! I paid $5.75 per gallon in Fall River on July 4. Diesel is $5.79 for my work truck. Mary Maguire is a shill for corrupt Mass. progressives. Give ot a rest…

There is a list of Fall River gas stations under $5.00. If you paid $5.75, someone suckered you.

Just because someone averaged the cost doesn’t mean their poll is reflective of reality. I’m sure that an elite level reporter like yourself has taken fundamental statistics courses. I can make a poll reflect whatever I’d like it too by simply controlling my inputs. Give me a break with this ridiculous live time “fact checking” it is comical! How much is premium fuel as my vehicle demands? Oh we didn’t account for that in our calculations. Thanks for the concern.
