Manchester Gas Prices Run About 8 Cents Below State Average As Prices Keep Falling

MANCHESTER, CT — Prices at the Manchester stations with current reports are running about 8 cents below the state average this week as the Connecticut and national averages continued to drop, according to AAA and the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Connecticut was $4.24 on Tuesday, according to AAA. That is down about 5 cents from $4.29 a week ago and down about 22 cents from $4.46 a month ago. Compared with a year ago, when the state average was $3.04, drivers are paying about $1.20 more per gallon.

The Connecticut average is about 9 cents higher than the national average of $4.15 a gallon for regular gasoline, according to the latest weekly data from the EIA, released Nov. 3 and reflecting prices as of Nov. 2. The national average fell about 12 cents from $4.27 the previous week.

The EIA does not track Connecticut prices individually. It reports them as part of its New England region, where regular gasoline averaged $4.15 a gallon as of Nov. 2, down about 5 cents from the week before.

In Manchester, the 13 stations with current price reports averaged $4.16 a gallon for regular.
