Regular gas prices in the state averaged $2.48 per gallon one year prior.
“The pandemic discount is almost gone, as prices locally are just a few pennies less than they were a year ago at this time,” said Lloyd Albert, senior vice president of public and government affairs for AAA Northeast, in a statement. “Despite demand being down, production cuts are keeping oil prices from falling, leading to higher prices for consumers at the pump.”

- Premium gas averaged $3.04 per gallon.
- Diesel fuel averaged $2.78 per gallon.
