The numbers at Massachusetts gas pumps have ticked down steadily over the past two months, but don’t count on paying Missouri prices here any time soon.
The weekly average cost of unleaded gasoline in Massachusetts has fallen 34 cents in eight weeks, to just below $3.43 a gallon, according to the AAA of Southern New England weekly survey. Despite the decline, local drivers are still paying 18 cents above the national weekly average, AAA reported, and they have to shell out a lot more than motorists in Missouri — Tuesday’s nearly $2.95 a gallon average there was the lowest in the nation.

Regular is $3.65 per gallon on the cape. Our prices have barely moved, except for upward when the rest of the nation's price increases. Coakley, is this price fixing?
21 cents a gallon is what Deeval and his State House bumbleshoot of wayward bureaucrats and managers gouge out of the st ate's taxpaying vehicle operators... and Deeval claims to be short of tax bucks for transport. . . Wonder how much of that 21-cent-a-gallon levy Deeval eats up getting the state to pay for his personal transport to his outpost in far western Richmond .. . maybe we should be relieved that Deeval doesn't misappropriate the State Police chopper like good old Swifty Jane did for her ride needed to her Western residence. . .
