CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – The average cost of a gallon of gasoline in Massachusetts has jumped 3 cents in the past week to $2.67 for a gallon, the first price increase since early May.
AAA Northeast said the increase was driven by higher crude oil prices, increased demand, a shrinking supply, and the closure of a major refinery in Philadelphia.
The current price is 4 cents lower than the national average and 17 cents lower than the Massachusetts per-gallon average a year ago.
