Massachusetts motorists are seeing more relief at the gasoline pumps.
AAA Southern New England reported Monday self-serve, regular has dropped a nickel in the past week to average $3.56 per gallon.
It's the seventh consecutive week of lower prices, which are 33 cents below where they were at their peak on April 16.
The current price is 2 cents less than the national average and 30 cents below the cost at the same time a year ago.
MassachusettsGasPrices.com reported regular has fallen 4.4 cents in the past week, averaging $3.61 a gallon.
In Attleboro Monday, the Shell station on Route 123 was selling regular for $3.59 a gallon, down 8 cents from last week. The Cumberland Farms at County and Wall streets was at $3.56, down 4 cents.
In Rhode Island, gas prices are also down for the seventh straight week, falling 3 cents over the past seven days for an average of $3.72, AAA said.
"With significant downward pressure on oil prices last week, motorists will continue to see prices sliding," GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan said, adding supplies are also turning around. "Also pushing down oil prices last week was a frightening jobs report, as well as continued concerns about European debt problems."
