BOSTON - Gas prices in Massachusetts stopped falling Wednesday - at least for a day.

The average price for a gallon of regular is currently $3.49, the same as it was on Tuesday, according to AAA.

Prices had been dropping slowly but steadily since hitting a record high of $5.05 back on June 12.

The national average had dropped for 98 days before starting to rise again in late September. It was $3.83 Wednesday, 34 cents higher than Massachusetts.

California still has the highest average price in the country at $6.43 a gallon.
