BOSTON — Gas prices are down about one cent in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, AAA said Monday.
The not-for-profit auto club said the average price for gas in Massachusetts is down from $2.08 per gallon last week to $2.07.
The average price is about 4 cents lower than a month ago and 49 cents cheaper than last Nov. 9., AAA said. The state’s average gas price is 4 cents lower than the national average.
In Rhode Island, AAA said the average gas price is down from $2.09 per gallon last week to $2.08.
That’s about 5 cents lower than a month ago and 42 cents cheaper than last Nov. 9, according to the organization. Rhode Island’s average gas price is 3 cents lower than the national average.
Mary Maguire, AAA’s Northeast Director of Public and Government Affairs, said states ramping up travel restrictions and rolling back the economic reopening process has led to weaker demand and cheaper gas prices.
