About gas prices in Massachusetts
Massachusetts charges roughly 27 cents per gallon in state gas tax, lower than New England average, but the Boston metro pulls heavily from RFG-required terminals in Everett and Braintree, which keeps prices closer to neighboring Connecticut and Rhode Island. The state is reliant on pipeline imports through Massachusetts Coastal and tanker shipments to Boston Harbor, leaving prices sensitive to ICE marine fuel disruptions. Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale (founded in Massachusetts), Cumberland Farms, and Stop & Shop fuel are typically the cheapest options across Boston and the rest of the state.
