Mass. Gas Prices Up 14 Cents in a Week
February 4th, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — Gas prices in Massachusetts increased sharply over the past week.
AAA Southern New England reported Monday that the average price of regular gas is now about $3.60 a gallon. That’s 14 cents higher than last Monday. The motor club blames the increase on higher crude oil prices.
The average price in Massachusetts is seven cents higher than the national average and 10 cents higher that the average price in the state a year ago.
AAA found self-serve regular selling as low as $3.50 a gallon and as high as $3.80 a gallon.
Check out all the different gas stations and brands that F.L. Roberts owns. You’ll see a wide variation of prices from them all the time depending on if the station is in a high traffic area or not.
I thought I was the only one that noticed. Ridiculous!
Me too. Why?
Is this due to the fantasy bubble that our media lives in? As they report that unemployment is only 7 or 8% and the economy is doing better??? Please tell me how I get to live in that bubble, because my “world” (like many’s) sucks right now…
Obama was inaugurated and the fun begins. First gas prices then his taxes.
On the serious side.. Oil companies raise their prices yet their profits are humongous. That practice should be banned.
Yeah new quarter for the gas companies so they need to meet profit margins over last quarter. Greedy ********
Amazing how the news media reports a penny drop but keeps quiet about this rape at the pump. All lies. Where is our Rep. Neal. Wining and dining at the White House.
One of the days last week, PRIDE on North Main Street in East Longmeadow across from “Club Meadows” went up 23 CENTS in 1 DAY!!!!!! What the heck!?
Last Tuesday or Wednesday, at 8:30 am they were at $3.60 for the 89 octane. When I went by there again at around 4:30 pm the same day, the 89 octane was now at $3.83!!!!! 23 CENTS IN ONE DAY!!?? COME ON PRIDE AND ROBERT BOULDUC!!!! You are suppose to be a LOCAL OWNED STATION! HELP US OUT HERE!!!!!
14 cents try 20 cents in one week
It’s Obamas fault he’s a **** tard
Pure greed again!
Why is it that you’ll pay an EXTRA 15% to TIP someone who WROTE down your order and 15 minutes later, WALKS your order to your table??? Why then, WON’T you even offer MORE than a ****ing DOLLAR to have it DRIVEN across town to you, in a nice HOT bag, and using the gas the delivery PAID FOR OUT OF HIS POCKET!!?? MOST Delivery drivers get much less than minimum wage! They PAY for their own gas. They use their OWN CAR, They are NOT reimbursed for ANYTHING. THEY spend their TIME, EFFORT, and FUEL to get your food to you as quickly as they can, in hopes that your “We REALLY appreciate you taking the time to drive all the way out here”, will translate into AT LEAST a mere 10%.!!! And for all you scumbag, dirtball, low-life, welfare cases that cant tip more than the lose change (If) for a $30.00 order… FOCK OFF! You’re an inconsiderate, low life, cheap ***, piece of broke *** garbage! Take your $30 to the GROCERY store and feed your kids some real food for a few DAYS. Do you feel guilty? GOOD! Now Fock off!
Can you say GOUGING?
yes and when will our beloved govenor who pays nothing for his gas do something about this gouging????
Let’s complain about gas, but a pack of cigs being 7 bucks you’ll gladly pay. Idiots
Just did my taxes and I’m getting half of what I did last yr. Call bull****. Screwed on gas..taxes… this world is going to hell.
Gas prices going up! Taxes going up! Health care costs going up! Food prices going up! Unemployment number went up last month! Take-home pay in paychecks going down! Tax refunds down!!
I sure hope all the people who voted for Nobama and the Demorats are happy, because this is what they wanted!
Everyone wanted the “cool, Hollywood rockstar” President for another 4 years instead of the “boring businessman” Mitt Romney. And now we are all suffering!!
Wish more people voted for Romney/Ryan like I did, but people were blinded by smooth-talker Nobama, Bill Clinton, Devil Patrick, Granny Warren, Richy Neil, Barney Franks, etc, etc. telling us how great the economy is doing and how we need 4 more years of the “Hollywood Rockstar Nobama” and not “boring” Mitt Romney.
Trivia question: What is the profit margin of the “evil” oil companies?
Since nobody wants to answer…the profit margin of the oil companies is 8%. That’s not gouging. The state and fed takes MUCH MORE of your money every time you fill up. You rage is justified, just point it where it deserves to be. PS-Deval announced he wants to raise the gas tax 30 cents a gallon! Wake up supporters of these liberal thieves!
F. K off Glenn
Glen is absolutely right, a majority of the taxes on gas do not go to the oil companies, but in fact our wonderfully greedy government!! Real nice “the truth”, what’s wrong? You don’t like the truth!
Thanks to WGGB for not editing rude comments like this!
Fuel companies EXPLOIT our dependency on fuel. The PROBLEM is the EFFECT it has on pounding our economy into the ground. Think about it! How much MORE stimulus could USA possibly need IF gas prices DROPPED back to $2.00 a gallon. I KNOW it would certainly make my life easier!
