The price of gasoline continued its downward plunge this week as the crude oil market stabilized and demand for gasoline – according to a survey conducted by AAA – remained low. The average price per gallon of regular gasoline in Connecticut was $4.09 on Wednesday, down 8 cents over the previous week and 89 cents from its peak of $4.98 on June 14.
The national average also continued its fall, according to AAA, dropping 10 cents over the past week to $3.94 on Wednesday, down from its peak of $5.01 on June 14. Wednesday’s national average was 59 cents less than it was a month ago, but was still 76 cents higher than a year ago. Connecticut’s average on Wednesday was 91 cents higher than a year ago, but the state’s 25-cent tax on each gallon is currently suspended to help consumers.
