Gas prices in Massachusetts are down a penny, for the first decline in six weeks.
A weekly survey by AAA Southern New England found a gallon of self-serve regular averaging $3.12 Monday, down one cent from the same time last week.
The auto club says Massachusetts is 14 cents below the national average price of $3.26 per gallon. According to the Lundberg Survey of about 7,000 gas stations, prices nationally rose 6.9 cents, to $3.26 a gallon for self-serve regular.
Prices in Massachusetts remain well above what they were a year ago, when a gallon averaged $2.55 in the state. (AP and Reuters)
