Gas prices on the rise again

The Sun Chronicle -- As expected, gasoline prices in Massachusetts are again on the rise after a one-week reprieve.

AAA Southern New England reported Monday self-serve, regular is selling for an average of $3.58 per gallon, a 3-cent jump over last week, when prices dropped 1 cent after two straight weeks of 9-cent hikes.

Even though the cost has gone up 20 cents in the past month and are the highest since early June, the price in Massachusetts remains 3 cents below the national average and 15 cents lower than at the same time a year ago, AAA said.

MassachusettsGasPrices.com found regular had climbed 7.8 cents, averaging just under $3.65 a gallon.

In Attleboro Monday, the Shell station on South Avenue (Route 123) was selling regular for $3.69, up 4 cents from last week.

Open your wallet or drive less or a combination of the two. That's what I do insofar as the vehicle goes. If need be I cut back on life's pleasures first and then essentials. Though so far I've not needed to go that far I really feel sorry for my GasBuddy's that have needed to take drastic actions to maintain their homes, health and families.
