The Price Of A Gallon Of Gas In Massachusetts Unchanged

It's been up. It's been down. Now, this week the price of a gallon of gas, according to AAA Northeast has not changed since last week. This of course is on average. You could see slightly elevated or decreased prices depending on where you go for your gas in the Berkshires.

No change from last week across the state on average...

Massachusetts’s average gas price is the same as last week, averaging $3.38 per gallon. AAA says that today’s price is 3 cents lower than a month ago ($3.41), and $1.17 higher than it was on January 3, 2021 ($2.21). Massachusetts’s average gas price is 10 cents higher than the national average.

The impact of COVID-19 continues to factor into the price at the pump...

Prices have been trending downward, which is good news for motorists... Factors such as the continuing impact of COVID and the willingness of OPEC nations to increase oil production will play a role in what prices we see at the pumps throughout the first quarter of the year. ~ Mary Maguire, Director of Public/Government Affairs.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here.
