Gas Prices in Clinton Are Falling Fast but Remain Well Above Where They Stood a Year Ago

CLINTON, CT — After months of climbing, gasoline prices at Clinton pumps have retreated considerably since spring, offering some welcome relief to shoreline drivers — though pump prices still run meaningfully higher than they did a year ago, according to the latest data from AAA and the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Connecticut's statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded stood at $4.074 as of June 21, according to AAA. That is a decline of roughly 16 cents from $4.230 one week ago and a drop of about 57 cents from $4.648 one month ago. The year-over-year gap is considerably wider: the statewide average was $3.162 a year ago, meaning Connecticut drivers are paying close to 91 cents more per gallon today than they were at the same point in 2025.

The state's current average of $4.074 runs slightly above the national average of $3.938 tracked by AAA as of June 21. The EIA, which publishes weekly retail fuel price data, put the national average for regular gasoline at $3.914 per gallon for the week ending June 22. That same report placed the New England regional average — the federal agency groups Connecticut with its five neighboring states for pricing purposes — at $3.952 per gallon.

Clinton sits within the New Haven-Meriden metropolitan area as tracked by AAA, which reported a current regular gas average of $4.043 — in line with the statewide figure and about 13 cents above the most recent national average published by the EIA.
