Gas prices this week plummeted to their lowest levels of the year—dropping below $3 a gallon in some parts of Massachusetts. And that includes Jamaica Plain.

In JP, prices dipped as low as $2.89 per gallon. Here’s a look at the lowest prices in town as of Wednesday, according to GasBuddy:

• Gibbs (581 Centre St. & Goodrich Rd.): $2.89

The average price of gas statewide was $3.26. Prices have been driven down by low demand and abundant supplies, according to the Associated Press.
