Drivers across New England are feeling the pinch at the pump as gasoline prices surge in several states.
According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of self-serve regular gas in Massachusetts jumped nine cents in the past week, now sitting at $3.08. Despite the increase, that’s still 14 cents below the national average.
In Connecticut, prices are even higher, with the average gallon costing $3.19, while Rhode Island drivers are paying around $3.09 per gallon.
While prices are on the rise, they’re still lower than last summer. At this time last year, Massachusetts drivers were paying about $3.43 per gallon.
Analysts say fluctuations in supply, summer travel demand, and oil market trends continue to influence the current spike.
