Lexington (WBZ Newsroom) -- Gas prices have moved into enemy territory for consumers in Massachusetts.
At Lexington Auto Service, they are charging $4.29 a gallon for regular. It's believed to be the first to cross the $4 line in the Greater Boston area.
The owner tells WBZ Newsradio 1030 he cant survive the wholesale price increases anymore otherwise he'd be out of business.
Doug Chapman his high prices may cut customer traffic, but the alternative was to lower prices to attract business and "clean out my bank account in the process."
Prices on average in the Bay State are at the $3.68 mark, according to Triple-A of Southern New England. Prices were 12-cents cheaper last week and have been on a steady rise for five weeks now.
