Westwood, MA, August 29, 2022 — According to AAA, Massachusetts’s average gas price is down 10 cents from last week ($4.16), averaging $4.06 per gallon. Today’s price is 42 cents lower than a month ago ($4.48), and $1.01 higher than August 29, 2021 ($3.05). Massachusetts’s average gas price is 21 cents higher than the national average.

“Gas prices remain relatively high here in the northeast, where inventories are lower than in other parts of the country,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public and Government Affairs. “Prices continue to fall steadily, however, and that’s good news for motorists planning their last summer driving trip over the upcoming Labor Day weekend.”

AAA Northeast’s August 29 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 5 cents lower than last week ($3.90), averaging $3.85 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 40 cents lower than a month ago ($4.25), and 71 cents higher than this day last year ($3.14).
