Mass. Gas Prices Up 35 Cents In 2 Weeks
BOSTON (WBZ) ―
Another week, another record.
The latest statewide survey by AAA Southern New England found an average price of $3.54 per gallon for self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline in Massachusetts.
That's 16 cents more than a week ago, and 35 cents more than two weeks ago.
Until the recent spike in prices, the state's record stood at $3.23 per gallon, set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
A year ago, gas was averaging $2.86 per gallon.
If there's a silver lining in the latest numbers, it's this: Massachusetts' current average is 6 cents below the national figure of $3.60.
