A statewide survey on Monday by AAA Southern New England found an average price of $3.19 per gallon of self-serve, regular unleaded, compared with $3.14 a week ago.
The auto club says the current average is just 4 cents shy of the state record of $3.23 set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
However, Massachusetts’ average is 18 cents below the national figure of $3.37.
