As city residents gear up for Labor Day weekened, local gas prices continue to creep up.
According to AAA Southern New England, the average price of a gallon of gas in Massachusetts is currently $3.78, up 18 cents from this time last month. That is 7 cents, on average, less expensive than motorists pay in Rhode Island and 24 cents less expensive than pumps in Connecticut.
The local spike is not as bad as the national average, which has seen an increase of 32 cents per gallon this past month.
Prices in the area range between $3.77 a gallon and $3.89, with the cheapest price currently at the downtown Gulf Station next door.
According to AAA, gas prices should go down after Labor Day.
Will the spike in gas prices impact your Labor Day plans? How do you change your driving habits when prices climb?
