Gas prices have dropped by nearly a dime in Massachusetts, putting the average cost below $3.50 for the first time since late April.

A survey by AAA Southern New England released Monday found the price of a gallon of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline averaging $3.47. That's 8 cents lower than a week ago.

That price is 61 cents below the state's record high of $4.08 on July 7 and 17 cents below the national average.

A year ago, gas was averaging $2.67 in the Bay State. (AP)
