State, Nat’l Gas Prices Down 2 Cents This Week

Posted on April 19, 2022

Now that the Easter holiday is over, here’s something to digest: today’s gas prices in Connecticut and on the national level have dropped 2 cents compared to last week, says AAA Northeast.

 

The average price for a gallon of self-serve regular in The Nutmeg State today is $3.90, while nationally, it’s $4.09.

 

“These lower pump prices may be temporary, however, if the global price of oil increases,” said Fran Mayko, AAA Northeast spokeswoman. “If oil prices remain near the $100-a-barrel mark, pump prices will most likely fall.”

However, other factors, such as higher demand and limited supplies, are causing crude prices to creep above the $100 a barrel mark. “As more US cities see pump prices drop below $4, demand will most likely increase just in time for the summer drive season,” Mayko added.

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

Greater Bridgeport                      $3.98      Lower Fairfield County                                                              $3.97

New Haven/Meriden                 $3.89      Greater Hartford                                                                     $3.86

New London/Norwich               $3.94      Windham/Middlesex                                                              $3.90

                        Statewide Average:  $3.90

 

Today, Kansas and Missouri register the lowest prices in the nation at $3.66 and $3.67, respectively. California and Hawaii hold the highest prices in the nation at $5.71 and $5.23, respectively. Connecticut moved one spot down, to the 31st on the list of states with the highest gas prices in the nation. Visit www.gasprices.aaa.com for daily average gas prices.
