Cheapest Gas Near Me: Find Lowest Price In Swampscott

SWAMPSCOTT, 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 Swampscott.

According to GasBuddy, the cheapest gas in and around Swampscott is selling for $3.39 per gallon at the Gulf at 525 Lynnway in Lynn. Here are some other places you can save in Swampscott:

• Richdale Gas, 573 Chestnut Street, Lynn, $3:49 per gallon
• Gibbs, 441 Humphrey Street, Swampscott, $3.57 per gallon
• Spiro's Energy, 620 Humphrey Street, $3.59 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.
