Connecticut Gas Prices Most Expensive in New England

Regular unleaded will cost you more here than anywhere else in New England and nearly 32 cents more than the national average.

By Gary Jeanfaivre

The combination of rising fuel costs and Connecticut's new gas tax have pushed the price of gas in the state higher than anywhere else in New England.

The state's $4.000 average for a gallon of regular unleaded is also nearly 32 cents more than the national average, according to Gas Buddy, a website that tracks prices.

Locally, in the Bridgeport area, regular is going for an average of $4.035.

South Carolina is home to the cheapest gas in the U.S., at $3.319 per gallon, Gas Buddy reports.

Where's the cheapest gas in Stratford?
