Vernon Gas Prices Running About Average As Prices Keep Falling

VERNON, CT — Prices at the Vernon stations with current reports are running about at 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 Vernon, the 11 stations with current price reports averaged $4.25 a gallon for regular.
