Hey there, Massachusetts residents! If you’ve been hitting the roads lately, you might have noticed something interesting at the pump—gas prices are on the decline. As of this Monday, the average price for a gallon of gas in our beautiful state is now down to $2.95! That’s a bit of good news for your wallets, especially since it’s a drop from last week’s average of $2.99 per gallon.
Let’s break it down a little more. According to the figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), we’re looking at a slight decrease—about 2 cents—from last month’s average gas price. Now, while it might not seem like a huge change, every penny counts, right?
Over the past year, gas prices in Massachusetts have certainly taken us on a wild ride. Back on January 13, 2025, we hit the sweet spot low of $2.95—exactly where we’re sitting now! But it hasn’t been smooth sailing all the way. The peak of this rollercoaster came just a few months ago, on April 29, 2024, when we were paying a whopping $3.60. Wow, what a difference!
When we glance at where we were this time last year, things look a bit different. Just a year ago, the average gas price for Massachusetts was sitting at $3.15 per gallon. Can you believe that? That means we’ve seen a decrease of about 6% compared to today’s prices. More room for those summer road trip plans!
Now, you may be curious about how our state compares to the rest of the nation. Last week, the average gas price across the United States came in at $3.08 per gallon. So, guess what? That means we’re lucky enough to be paying about 4.1% less here in Massachusetts. Isn’t that nice to hear? An extra bit of savings right here in our pocket!
In fact, it turns out that the national average has also dipped slightly this past week, down from $3.12 per gallon. It seems like a lot of folks across the USA are benefitting from this downward trend in prices, so let’s all celebrate together!
To sum it all up: gas prices in Massachusetts have dropped to $2.95 per gallon, which is a decrease from last week’s $2.99. Looking back at last year, we’re happier this year with prices falling from $3.15. And let’s not forget—our gas prices are better than the national average!
So as you gear up for your next drive around the state, whether it’s just to grab some coffee or take a scenic route, enjoy the savings at the pump. Here’s to making the most of the open road without burning a hole in your pocket!
