Gas prices this week plummeted to their lowest levels of the year—dropping below $3 a gallon in some parts of Massachusetts. But West Roxbury’s prices have remained hovering just above $3 per gallon.

In West Roxbury, prices reached a low of $3.03 per gallon. Here’s a look at the lowest prices in town as of Thursday, according to GasBuddy:

• Hess (1779 Centre St. near Maple St.): $3.03
• Ella’s (167 Spring St. near Baker St.): $3.09
• Parkway (705 VFW Pkwy & Corey St.): $309
• Sunoco (5175 Washington St. near Grove St.): $3.17
• Sunoco (1200 VFW Pkwy near Gardner St.): $3.25

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.
