BEVERLY, MA— Soaring oil prices mean more pain at the pump for North Shore residents, with the average gas price already nearing the $4 mark across the state.
But you can still save a little bit if you know where to look in Beverly.
According to GasBuddy, the cheapest gas in Beverly is selling for $3.43 per gallon at the Sunoco at 21 Brimbal Avenue. Here are some other places you can save in Beverly:
Cabot Fuels, 449 Cabot Street, $3.49 per gallon Gulf, 129 Brimball Ave, $3.49 per gallon Mobil, 453 Essex Street, $3.69 per gallon Beverly Gas & Tire, 383 Cabot Street, $3.69 per gallonPrim Energy, 491 Cabot Street, $3.73 per gallonSunoco, 1A Dodge Street, $3.79 per gallon The recent climb in pump prices primarily is attributable to the high cost of crude oil, according to AAA. Moderating winter weather and optimism over a possible decline in COVID-19 cases have led to an increase in gas demand.
"More drivers fueling up here coupled with a persistent tight supply of oil worldwide provides the recipe for higher prices at the pump," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a news release. "And unfortunately for consumers, it does not appear that this trend will change anytime soon."At a news conference last week, GasBuddy representatives said gas prices could go up by as much as 50 cents in the coming months.
