CT Prices Holding Steady at the Pump

Posted on November 19, 2019

Statewide, gas prices again are sluggish this week, says AAA Northeast.

 

In Connecticut today, the statewide average of $2.66  is nearly the same as last week, just a scant six-hundredths of a penny lower. Today’s prices, however, are 22 cents lower compared to last year.

 

Nationwide, pump prices are following suit. Today’s national average price of $2.60 is 2 cents lower compared to last week and 3 cents lower compared to last year.

 

Higher inventories and higher crude prices are pushing prices downward this week, said Fran Mayko, AAA Northeast spokeswoman. “We’re expecting this trend to continue through the month,” she added. “The one exception will be the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday period when nearly 50 million Americans will be traveling by car to visit family and friends. Expect to see price fluctuations starting by the end of this week.”

 

Today, Connecticut continues to hold the 16th spot on the list of states with the highest gas prices in the nation. In other words, said Mayko, gas prices are higher in 34 other states, which is unusual because Connecticut routinely appears in the Top 12 Drivers’ Dozen.

 

AAA’s weekly survey price survey of  Connecticut’s six regions are:

 

Greater Bridgeport                          $2.73                    Lower Fairfield County:                                 $2.70

New Haven/Meriden                     $2.64                     Greater Hartford                                              $2.63

New London/Norwich                   $2.68                     Windham/Middlesex                                     $2.68

Statewide Average:  $2.66

 

Today, California and Hawaii continue to  register the highest average per-gallon prices in the nation at $3.97 and $3.66, respectively.  Louisiana and Mississippi are the states with the lowest prices both at $2.14 and 2.22, respectively.
