Average Gas Price Tops $3
BOSTON (AP) ―
Gasoline prices are up another 2 cents per gallon in Massachusetts, topping the $3 per gallon mark for the first time in six months.
Prices are up for the sixth consecutive week in a statewide survey by AAA of Southern New England. The survey found an average price of $3.01 for a gallon of regular, self-serve gasoline. That compares with $2.99 one week ago.
The current average is just below this year's peak price in Massachusetts, set in late May when the average reached $3.04 per gallon. Massachusetts' average price is 7 cents below the national average of $3.08 per gallon.
Prices at the pump are rising after a recent spike in crude oil prices on the global market.
