The upward climb in motoring fuel prices that resumed last month has continued in Connecticut, but not in the nation, according to the American Automobile Association.
Today’s average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the state is $2.81, up a penny from the price AAA reported in its Aug.11 Fuel Gauge Report.
Throughout New England, prices have also climbed by a penny or two per gallon, or remained stable during this period. While today’s price for regular gasoline in Connecticut may have climbed from last month, it is still 99 cents less than a year ago.
Other gasoline grades have also seen price increases since Aug. 11. Mid-grade gasoline, which was $3.03 a gallon, is now $3.05. Premium gasoline has risen from $3.11 to $3.13. The average price for diesel fuel also rose during this period, going from $2.89 a gallon to $2.90.
One year ago, diesel averaged $4.56 a gallon.
