SKD, I noticed that Prime station on rt.27 is one of the cheapest around. Hope it keeps on the downward trend.

Off-Cape gas prices fall under $3.00
HYANNIS - Gasoline prices in Massachusetts fell an average of five cents per gallon last week, according to the latest survey by AAA Southern New England.

It's the second consecutive week of lower prices. For the first time since early July, the average price of self-serve unleaded gasoline is averaging less than $3.00.

On average, a gallon of such gasoline is averaging $2.96 per gallon. That's five cents lower than last week and eight cents less than two weeks ago.

A year ago at this time the average price was $2.619

Gas prices on the Cape are much higher, averaging $3.10 per gallon of self-serve unleaded gasoline, according to AAA. That's four cents less than a month ago. A year ago, the average Cape gasoline price was $2.67 a gallon.

Shop around because the statewide survey found a larger-than-usual swing in prices from a low of $2.77 to a high of $3.27.

Despite the price drop in Massachusetts, gas in the Bay State remains more expensive than it does nationally. A nationwide AAA survey on Monday found an average price $2.92 for a gallon of self-serve unleaded.

Gas prices fell back last week as supply fears abated after the cease-fire in Lebanon and British Petroleum restored half of the production at an Alaskan oil field. BP recently scaled back its Prudhoe Bay operations because of pipeline leaks and corrosion.
