AAA Northeast reported Monday that the average price of a gallon of gas in Massachusetts rose another 6 cents, landing at $2.75 a gallon in the auto group’s weekly survey.
The average gas price in the state has shot up 28 cents in the past month and is 34 cents per gallon higher than this time a year ago.
“On average, Americans are paying 14% more to fill-up compared to February,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast director of public and government affairs. “With increased demand and tighter gasoline supplies, we are looking at more expensive pump prices with little relief in the weeks ahead.”
Facebook to label vaccine posts to combat misinfo
Facebook is adding informational labels to posts about vaccines as it expands efforts to counter COVID-19-related misinformation flourishing on its platforms.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a blog post Monday that labels will contain “credible information” about the vaccines from the World Health Organization. They will be in English and five other languages, with more languages added in coming weeks.
“For example, we’re adding a label on posts that discuss the safety of COVID-19 vaccines that notes COVID-19 vaccines go through tests for safety and effectiveness before they’re approved,” Zuckerberg said.
The social network is also adding a tool to help get users vaccinated by connecting them to information about where and when they can get their shot.
