Mass. Gas Prices Increase Again

Gas prices in Massachusetts continue to rise, up another 6 cents per gallon in the past week.

AAA Northeast reports Monday that prices in the Bay State have now risen for five consecutive weeks, and gas is now up to an average of $2.60 per gallon for self-serve, regular.

Massachusetts prices are 2 cents per gallon below the national average, and 27 cents per gallon more than they were a month ago, but still $1.08 lower than where they were a year ago at this time.

AAA found self-serve, regular selling for as low as $2.43 per gallon and as high as $2.79.   (Associated Press)
