BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) – Gas prices across Massachusetts are up nearly a dollar over last month’s prices as the war in Iran continues to rage on.
Stocks slumped and oil prices soared today after President Donald Trump addressed the nation last night. In his speech the President promised to continue to attack Iran without a timetable of when the conflict in the Middle East would end causing the markets to react.
According to AAA prices in Massachusetts are currently $3.86 for a gallon of regular gas, up from $2.91 just one month ago.
The national average is even higher, with prices at $4.08 per gallon. That’s up even two cents from yesterday’s average, and over a dollar from this day last month where the national average for a gallon of gas was $2.99.
Around New England prices are similar to each other, in New Hampshire its $3.87, Maine $3.91, Rhode Island $3.91, Connecticut $4.02, and Vermont $3.99 per gallon.
