Massachusetts gas prices increase sharply for third straight week, but relief may be in sight
Westwood, MA, April 24, 2023 — For the third straight week, the cost of a gallon of gas in Massachusetts rose sharply, however, that trend could reverse in the near future.
According to AAA, the average gas price in Massachusetts is up 9 cents from last week ($3.39), averaging $3.48 per gallon. Today’s price is 22 cents higher than a month ago ($3.26), and 65 cents lower than April 24, 2022 ($4.13). Massachusetts’ average gas price is 18 cents lower than the national average.
“The recent surge in oil costs took a break last week, with the price of oil tumbling back into the upper $70s per barrel,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Vice President of Public and Government Affairs. “If this oil price trend continues, drivers may see falling gas prices sooner rather than later.”
AAA Northeast’s April 24 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 1 cent lower than last week ($3.67), averaging $3.66 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 22 cents higher than a month ago ($3.44), and is 46 cents lower than this day last year ($4.12

Relief will be in 2024. I dislike this administration immensely.
