Monroe Gas Prices Remain Near State And U.S. Averages As Year-Ago Costs Stay Higher

MONROE, CT — Regular gasoline prices in Monroe are tracking close to both the Connecticut and national averages this week, showing only modest shifts from recent weeks and remaining lower than at this time last year, according to the latest fuel price reports.

Across Connecticut, the average retail price for a gallon of regular gasoline stands at about $2.89, up slightly from roughly $2.87 a week ago and about even with the price a month ago. That state average is down from about $3.09 per gallon recorded a year ago, reflecting broader declines in pump costs over the past 12 months. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is near $2.90, also up modestly from a week and a month ago but below roughly $3.14 per gallon a year ago.

Locally, fuel price tracking tools show a range of most recent reported regular gasoline prices at Monroe stations, with some of the lowest offerings under $3 per gallon and others nearer to or above state averages.

Monroe’s average pump price reflects a broader regional trend of relatively stable gasoline costs, with small week-to-week increases but overall lower prices compared with a year ago. These patterns are consistent with national retail fuel trends, where moderate crude oil costs and balanced supply and demand have kept pump prices relatively subdued.
