The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas sold in Massachusetts is $3.10 for a third consecutive week, according to AAA Northeast. The current average is 2 cents higher than it was a month ago ($3.08), and a full dollar more than it was at this time a year ago ($2.10). Massachusetts’ average gas price is 10 cents lower than the national average. “Global economic uncertainty and supply chain concerns caused by the lingering COVID-19 pandemic could be playing a role in keeping crude oil prices elevated,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast's director of public affairs, in a statement. AAA Northeast is a nonprofit auto club with 71 offices in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire and New York, providing more than 6 million local AAA members with travel, insurance, finance, and auto-related services.
