HYANNIS – Massachusetts gas prices dropped another 3 cents over the past week.
AAA Northeast reports that self-serve, regular unleaded is selling for an average of $2.59 per gallon in the Bay State.
That price is 22 cents higher than the national average and 13 cents higher than at the same time last year.
“The national average is a nickel less than last week, twenty-six cents less than last month and six cents less than a year ago,” said Mary Maguire, Director of Public and Legislative Affairs for AAA Northeast. “With gasoline production on the high side – 10 million barrels per day – amid low seasonal demand, motorists can expect gas prices to continue declining through year-end.”
According to GasBuddy.com, prices on Cape Cod are between $2.38 and $2.84.
