Connecticut Gas Prices Continue Dropping

Last week the price per gallon dropped three cents. Now they're done another five.

The price of gas in Connecticut dropped nearly five cents in a week, averaging $4.07 for a gallon statewide according to the price tracking website Connecticut Gas Prices.  

A year ago, prices reached $4.23. The current national average is 27 cents cheaper than Connecticut at $3.80.  

While consumers might appreciate the respite in price hikes, summer is looming and the downward trend could change.
