Gas up Again

After surging by double digits a week ago, gasoline prices rose modestly in the Northeast last week on weakening demand and lower oil prices. The Energy Information Administration reported national gasoline demand fell from 8.6 to 8.4 million barrels a day last week. That’s nearly 1.1 million fewer barrels per day of demand than the comparable week last year. Meanwhile, oil prices remain below $90 a barrel, which will help ease pressure on gas prices. The average gas price in Massachusetts is up 3 cents over last week ($3.56), averaging $3.59 per gallon. Today’s price is 29 cents higher than a month ago ($3.30) and 9 cents higher than April 29, 2023 ($3.50). Massachusetts’s average gas price is 6 cents lower than the national average.
