Town Gas Prices Higher Than State Average
Westborough Patch compared local prices to recently released state average.
The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline today in Westborough is $3.78, over 12 cents higher than the state average.
A Sept. 12 survey released by AAA Southern New England shows that the Massachusetts average for the week is $3.659 per gallon, up a penny from a week ago and one cent above the national average of $3.64.
During the noon hour today, Westborough Patch visited the six town gas stations (we did not include the service plaza on the Mass Pike) and found the following prices:
$3.739 – Mobil, East Main Street
$3.859 - Shell, East Main Street
$3.759 – BP, Milk Street
$3.599 – GasCo, Milk Street
$3.859 – Mobil, Turnpike Road

Ironically, the Board of Selectmen turned down a request by Stop & Shop to put in a gas station at their Lyman Street location because it would "hurt" gasoline station "small businesses" in town.
