National, CT Gas Prices Hold Steady

Posted on July 20, 2020

 

 

The more things change, the more they remain the same: national and Connecticut gas prices today both average $2.20 for a gallon of self-serve regular, the same they averaged last week.

 

The only difference, however, is that prices in The Nutmeg State are 70 cents cheaper than this time last year, while on the national level, they are 58 cents cheaper.

 

State averages throughout the nation are seeing minimal fluctuation as demand continues to hold steady, said Fran Mayko, AAA Northeast spokeswoman. “Today, one-third of states have seen drops in gas prices, while 10 have experienced increases between 2 and 4 cents. Fortunately, Connecticut prices continue to remain steady.”

 

Crude oil prices continue to fall along with inventories, which means production is meeting demand, said Mayko. “These events appear to be stabilizing prices, even though coronavirus outbreaks continue to grow worldwide.”

 

Here is AAA’s weekly price survey of Connecticut’s six metro regions:

Greater Bridgeport           $2.27         Lower Fairfield County:         $2.27

New Haven/Meriden       $2.18         Greater Hartford                    $2.17

New London/Norwich     $2.21         Windham/Middlesex             $2.23

                                          Statewide Average:  $2.20

 

Today, Mississippi and Louisiana register the lowest average per-gallon prices in the nation at $1.84 and $1.86, respectively. Hawaii and California continue to hold the highest prices in the nation with $3.22 and $3.14, respectively. Connecticut holds the 18th  spot on the list of states with the highest gas prices in the nation. Average gas prices may be obtained daily through wsww.gasprices.aaa.com.
