Massachusetts gas prices keep dropping, but still 32 cents higher than U.S. average
BOSTON - Gas prices in Massachusetts dropped another 10 cents in the last week, but they're still 32 cents higher than the national average, AAA said Monday.
The average price for a gallon of gas in Massachusetts is now $4.27 a gallon. That's down 40 cents in the last month. It's 78 cents lower than the record of $5.05 set back on June 12.
The national average is now below the $4 mark at $3.96 a gallon. That's down $1.06 from the record high of $5.02 set on June 14.
"Falling pump prices may eventually lead to more drivers hitting the road again," AAA spokesperson Mary Maguire said in a statement Monday. "But that hasn't happened yet. Instead, many drivers are waiting for prices to fall further before reverting to their typical driving habits."
