                “The preliminary agreement by OPEC nations to limit oil production is having an impact on oil prices, which may show up in higher pump prices,” said Lloyd P. Albert, AAA Northeast Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs. “However, OPEC does not meet again until the end of November, and there remains skepticism as to whether or not they will agree to planned production cuts.”
The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 36 cents, from a low of $2.03 to a high of $2.39. 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
