| Gas Prices Down A Penny, Says AAA (posted by Public Affairs on March 24 @ 10:23 ) |
| Last week’s slight moderation in the price of oil had a similar effect on prices at the pump, as gasoline prices in Massachusetts are down for the first time in six weeks, according to AAA Southern New England. Diesel prices, on the other hand, continue to rise, up four cents over last week AAA’s March 24 survey of prices in Massachusetts found self-serve, regular unleaded averaging $3.129 per gallon, down one cent from last week. Massachusetts is currently 14 cents below the national average for regular unleaded of $3.269. A year ago at this time the average price in Massachusetts was $2.559. The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 27 cents, from a low of $3.029 to a high of $3.299. AAA advises motorists to shop around for the best prices in their area, and to make sure they and their passengers buckle up — every time. Today’s local gas prices and their ranges are as follows: Regular Unleaded - Self Serve/Full Serve $3.129 ($3.029-$3.299)/$3.229 ($3.099-$3.449) Midgrade Unleaded - Self Serve/Full Serve $3.239 ($3.119-$3.439)/$3.399 ($3.219-$3.649) Premium Unleaded - Self Serve/Full Serve $3.349 ($3.219-$3.539)/$3.479 ($3.319-$3.749) Diesel - Self Serve/Full Serve $4.139 ($4.029-$4.219)/$4.159 ($3.999-$4.299) AAA Fuel Saving Tip of the Week If you own more than one car – especially if one of your vehicles is a less fuel-efficient vehicle such as a pickup truck, sport utility vehicle or van – use the more energy-conserving vehicle as often as possible.
