Mass. gas price is unchanged at $4.06 a gallon

Massachusetts gas prices remained unchanged from last week, AAA Southern New England reported today.

In its latest weekly survey, AAA Southern New England said that it found that the price of a gallon of self-serve, regular unleaded gas averaged $4.06 in Massachusetts, the same price as the last two weeks.

As a result, local drivers heading out for Fourth of July trips and vacations should find gas prices "high, but relatively stable," AAA Southern New England said.

Massachusetts is currently 2 cents below the national average of $4.08 for regular unleaded; a year ago at this time, the average price in Massachusetts was $2.92, AAA Southern New England said.
