BOSTON (AP) — Gas prices in Massachusetts are up by one penny.
AAA Northeast said Monday that the price of self-serve, regular is averaging $2.18 per gallon. That’s seven cents below the national average of $2.25.
The price of self-serve, regular was averaging $2.16 a year ago at this time.
According to gasbuddy.com, prices on Cape Cod range from a low of $2.07 to a high of $2.55 per gallon.
AAA officials say the increase follows a period of “solid demand and some declines in the glut of crude oil” that have kept prices low this summer.
