BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts gas prices are up by a penny this week, but drivers can expect prices to fall this holiday season.
AAA Northeast found in its weekly survey released Monday that the price of self-serve, regular is averaging $2.49 per gallon.
The average price is three cents above the national average of $2.46. It’s 32 cents higher than the price in Massachusetts was a year ago at this time — $2.17 per gallon.
According to GasBuddy.com, prices on Cape Cod range between $2.35 and $2.72.
AAA says gas prices are expected to drop as supply strengthens and the demand for gasoline weakens throughout the winter.
