CT, Nat’l Gas Prices Tied This Week

Posted on September 14, 2020

They may not be the Kentucky Derby’s Authentic and Tiz the Law, but Connecticut and National gas prices are neck and neck in the race of price averages.

 

Today, National’s $2.22 for a gallon of self-serve regular is a penny lower compared to last week and 34 cents lower than this time last month.

 

In Connecticut, average prices also hit the $2.22 mark, making prices a penny lower than this time last week; and 49 cents lower than this time last year.

 

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, drivers enjoyed plenty of savings at the pump, said Fran Mayko, AAA Northeast spokeswoman.  In fact, the national gas price average during the unofficial start and stop to summer was $2.15, the cheapest since 2004, she said.

 

Lower demand, lower crude prices, and higher supplies continue to push gas prices lower. “Summer may be fading, but cheaper gas prices aren’t,” said Mayko. “And as we move into fall, we’ll see further declines in demand and savings with prices possibly dropping even lower than what we’ve already seen in 2020. Only time will tell,” she added.

 

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

Greater Bridgeport                $2.29    Lower Fairfield County:    $2.28

New Haven/Meriden           $2.20    Greater Hartford               $2.19

New London/Norwich         $2.24    Windham/Middlesex       $2.25

                            Statewide Average:  $2.22

 

Today, Mississippi and Texas register the lowest average per-gallon prices in the nation at $1.88 and $1.90, respectively, while California and Hawaii continue to hold the highest prices in the nation with $3.24 and $3.22, respectively. Connecticut dropped to the 21st 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.
