Drivers are getting some relief at the pump just in time for the holiday weekend.

The average price of a gallon of gas is down, but there’s still a wide range of costs from town to town.

Gas prices are coming down across Massachusetts — but they seem to be all over the place as well. In Boston’s South End Wednesday, we found $5.59 a gallon, but in nearby Fenway, the price was $4.89. In Newton, drivers could get $4.69 gas; in Westwood, $4.49; in Lynnfield, $3.89. The variation in prices is not a conspiracy or unique,…

New AAA numbers are out, and the national average for gas is now down to $4.01.

After the pandemic, and more recently historically high gas prices, there’s been a shift in demand for gas as drivers try to save money amid sky-high inflation.
