Gas Prices Take a Jump in Marlborough, State

The latest survey from AAA New England says that gas prices are on the rise in Massachusetts, and that trend has been evident in Marlborough as well. 

After a late fall filled with dropping prices, the local average is up to $3.39, according to a price list on Mapquest.com. 

This a approximately one cent higher than the statewide average, which AAA reported as being $3.379. This is 8 cents higher than the previous week, said the report. 

"It’s the largest one-week increase since late last April, and local gas prices have risen 16 cents a gallon over the past three weeks," AAA Southern New England added as reported by the Boston Globe.

The current national average for gas is $3.37 a gallon. A year ago at this time, the Massachusetts average was $3.08 a gallon.

AOL Autos revealed that one of the most inexpensive gas tank fill-ups could be found in nearby Cambridge for $2.69 per gallon of regular gas. 

Members of the chain discount club BJ's on the Marlborough/Hudson line are saving an additional 10 cents below the statewide average currently for regular gas, as of Monday.
