Gas Prices In Waterford Are Down Sharply From A Month Ago But Remain Well Above Last Year

WATERFORD, CT — Gasoline prices have fallen considerably from their spring peaks, giving drivers in Waterford some relief at the pump — though prices still run well above where they stood a year ago, according to the latest data from AAA and the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Connecticut's statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded stood at $4.026 as of June 24, according to AAA. That represents a drop of about 20 cents from $4.230 one week ago and a decrease of roughly 62 cents from $4.648 one month ago. The year-over-year comparison is a sharper reminder of how far prices have climbed: the statewide average sat at $3.162 a year ago, meaning Connecticut drivers are currently paying about 86 cents more per gallon than they were at this time in 2025.

The state's current average of $4.026 is modestly above the national average of $3.928 tracked by AAA as of June 24. The EIA, which releases weekly retail fuel price data each Monday, put the national average for regular gasoline at $3.914 per gallon for the week ending June 22. That same report placed the New England regional average — the federal energy agency groups Connecticut with its five neighboring states — at $3.952 per gallon.

Waterford falls within the New London-Norwich metropolitan area tracked by AAA. That metro reported a current regular gas average of $3.997 — the lowest of Connecticut's five tracked metro markets and slightly below the statewide average of $4.026. Compared to the national average of $3.914 reported by the EIA, the New London-Norwich metro average runs about 8 cents higher.
