Westwood, M.A., December 14, 2020 — Massachusetts’s average gas price is up two cents from last week ($2.10), averaging $2.12 per gallon. Today’s price is 5 cents higher than a month ago ($2.07), and 43 cents cheaper than December 14, 2019 ($2.55). Massachusetts’s average gas price is 4 cents lower than the national average.
“Gasoline demand is down 14% year-over-year. The numbers we are seeing as of late are very similar to readings from May when many states were locked down and demand was very low,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast Director of Public and Government Affairs. “The fact is, Americans are filling-up less as states re-introduce travel restrictions and the pandemic lingers.”
AAA Northeast’s December 14 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be the same as last week, averaging $2.16 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 9 cents higher than a month ago ($2.07), and 40 cents cheaper than this day last year ($2.56).
