​“Lower driving demand at this time of year and an oversupplied market as a result of increased U.S. gasoline production has kept prices stable despite OPEC oil production cuts,” said Lloyd Albert, Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Northeast.
The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 21 cents, from a low of $2.09 to a high of $2.30. AAA advises motorists to shop around for the best prices in their area, and to make sure they and their passengers buckle up — every time.
Today’s local gas prices and their ranges are as follows:
Self Serve                                           Grade
