How Gas Prices Have Changed in Springfield, Massachusetts in the Last Week
According to AAA, Madison drivers benefit as regular gas prices drop $0.15 to $4.45 per gallon, and diesel also sees a 1.8% decrease.
Gas prices in Madison fell 3.2% over the past week, according to AAA data current as of May 25. Diesel prices dropped 2.9% week-over-week, declining $0.17 per gallon.
Despite this week's decline, year-over-year comparisons reveal sustained inflation. Madison gas prices have jumped $1.40 to $4.85 per gallon, a 46.7% annual increase, while diesel surged $1.77 or 52.6% higher.
Current diesel prices at Madison pumps reach $5.79 per gallon. Historically, the most expensive diesel recorded locally was $5.95 on May 14, 2026, while gas peaked at $4.85 on June 12, 2022.
Consecutive daily decreases this past week signal downward momentum at the pump. Both gas and diesel declined in tandem, offering modest relief despite prices remaining substantially elevated from pre-pandemic baselines.
Long-Term fuel costs remain troubling despite recent gains. Diesel inflation at 52.6% annually far outpaces gasoline's 46.7% climb, suggesting sustained pressure on transportation costs through 2026.
