Regular gasoline in Massachusetts averages $3.96 per gallon as of the EIA week of 2026-08-10 — $0.04 below the national average of $4.01. New England has no refineries — Massachusetts gasoline arrives by tanker and barge into Boston Harbor and by pipeline from New York Harbor, adding freight to every gallon. A 24¢ state excise plus reformulated-gasoline requirements in the metro area keep prices somewhat above the national average, and winter storms can tighten supply quickly.
