BOSTON (AP) — The average price of a gallon of gasoline in Massachusetts is up by 5 cents this week.

According to GasBuddy.com, prices on Cape Cod range from $2.25 to $2.62.
AAA says U.S. crude oil inventories are moving down, while the demand for gasoline is going up, causing increases this month.
