West Haven Gas Prices Fall Below State Average

Gas prices in West Haven are currently running below the Connecticut state average. Data from AAA and the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicates that local stations are charging approximately 6 cents less per gallon than the statewide norm as of this week.

The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Connecticut was $4.24 on Tuesday. This figure represents a decrease of about 5 cents from the previous week and a drop of 22 cents from one month ago. However, drivers are paying about $1.20 more per gallon than they did a year earlier, when the state average stood at $3.04.

Connecticut prices remain higher than the national average. The EIA reported a national average of $4.15 for regular gasoline as of Nov. 2. That national figure fell by about 12 cents from the prior week. The EIA does not track Connecticut prices individually but groups them within the New England region, where the average also stood at $4.15.

Five West Haven stations with current price reports averaged $4.18 per gallon for regular gasoline. This local average sits 6 cents below the AAA Connecticut average and 3 cents above both the New England and national averages. Thirteen other stations in the town did not have current regular price reports available.

Specific station prices in West Haven vary. The lowest reported price was $4.09 at the CITGO on 540 Derby Ave. The 7-Eleven on 480 Saw Mill Road reported $4.15, while the Valero on 528 Main St. charged $4.17. Shell stations on 5 Jones Hill Road and 261 Platt Ave. reported prices of $4.19 and $4.29, respectively.

Prices at these locations can fluctuate several times a week. The figures reflect the most recent reports available at the time of publication. Drivers should expect variation between stations even within the same town.
