The most expensive ($8.09) in Lee, MA is in a highway rest stop plaza about 110 miles west of Boston near the state’s western border (just outside the Berkshires) that is well known for its crazy prices. You buy anything in that plaza and you’re getting taken for a ride.

For comparison, Boston (and immediate surroundings) Big Mac prices are $5.89 - $6.79 depending on the location, and that includes one of the city’s largest train and subway stations/bus terminals, in some extremely expensive to rent real estate within the financial district because of how many potential customers go through it every day.
