Gas prices have continued to drop across the country and in Massachusetts, and are now lower than they were a year ago in the Bay State, according to AAA.

The average gallon of gas in Massachusetts was selling for $3.37 Tuesday, which is 6 cents cheaper than it was a week ago, and 39 cents than it was a month ago, according to AAA.

Tuesday's gas prices were even a cent lower than they were a year ago.

Gas prices also declined in neighboring states Rhode Island and Connecticut, where a gallon cost an average of $3.26 and $3.13, respectively.

“Increasing supply and soft gasoline demand are pushing pump prices lower,” Mary Maguire, Vice President of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Northeast, said in a news release. "Gasoline throughout the Northeast is now cheaper than the same time last year, which might have seemed unimaginable when prices peaked at record highs this past summer.”
