BOSTON (AP) - Massachusetts residents are dealing with another double-digit increase in the price of gasoline, pushing it close to $4 per gallon.

AAA Southern New England reports Monday that self-serve regular rose another 12 cents in the past week and is now averaging $3.94 per gallon.

WBZ NewsRadio 1030's Fausto Menard talks to AAA's Mary Maguire.

That's up 88 cents since the start of the year and $1.08 more than at the same time last year, but still a penny below the national average.

AAA found self-serve regular as low as $3.89 and as high as $4.09 per gallon.
