BOSTON (AP) — The cost of a gallon of gasoline in Massachusetts is up another 4 cents in the past week, to its highest level since early January.
AAA Northeast reports Monday that self-serve, regular is selling for an average of $2.28 per gallon.
The Massachusetts price is 12 cents lower than the national average, but 20 cents per gallon higher than the in-state average a year ago.
The price on Cape Cod ranges from a low of $2.22 to a high of $2.47, according to GasBuddy.com.
AAA says prices are climbing amid production cuts by OPEC nations, seasonal refinery maintenance and increasing demand.
