The average for Massachusetts gas prices was up 8 cents in the latest weekly survey by AAA Southern New England; prices have now risen for nine consecutive weeks.

AAA's June 8 survey of prices in Massachusetts found self-serve, regular unleaded averaging $2.519 per gallon, 89 cents higher than at the start of the year.

The current Massachusetts average price is 10 cents below the national average for self serve unleaded of $2.61, and is $1.52 less than the $4.03 found this time a year ago, AAA Southern New England said.
