Gas prices fall again, to lowest since April The average gas price in Massachusetts fell eight cents a gallon last week to $2. 40 a gallon, the lowest point since mid-April, according to AAA Northeast. That was 20 cents below the national average and $1. 05 below the price at this time last year. Typically, gas prices peak in mid-summer, but with the price of crude oil hitting six-year lows , gas prices are falling faster than they did last year. Partial refinery shutdowns in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have prevented consumers from getting the full benefit of the drop in oil prices. The auto club said the lowest gas price recorded in Massachusetts was $2. 23 for a gallon of unleaded, regular gasoline.
