Westwood, MA, January 3, 2022 — Massachusetts’s average gas price is the same as last week, averaging $3.38 per gallon. Today’s price is 3 cents lower than a month ago ($3.41), and $1.17 higher than January 3, 2021 ($2.21). Massachusetts’s average gas price is 10 cents higher than the national average.
“Prices have been trending downward, which is good news for motorists,” says Mary Maguire, Director of Public/Government Affairs. “Factors such as the continuing impact of COVID and the willingness of OPEC nations to increase oil production will play a role in what prices we see at the pumps throughout the first quarter of the year.”
