• Fuel Costs: The Cheapest, Most Expensive Places To Get Gas In Simsbury (patch.com) — Gas prices in Simsbury are running below the Connecticut average this week, with six local stations averaging $4.36 for regular. That's about 9 cents cheaper than the statewide figure, though still slightly above both the New England and national averages, giving residents a small break at the pump compared with much of the state.
