he average price of a gallon of regular self-serve gasoline in Connecticut has jumped above $4 this weekend.
That's according to Saturday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. It shows the price rose to $4.003 overnight, from $3.999 on Friday.
The last time the average price went above $4 was May 16 of this year. The highest average of $4.39 per gallon was recorded on July 9, 2008.
Connecticut motorists are now paying more than they were a year ago, when the statewide average price for gasoline was $3.91. Problems with refineries and pipelines elsewhere in the country helped push gasoline prices higher over the last several weeks.
Do the liberals there thank Obama every time the gas prices go up? They all want $8 gallon gas.
I would agree but I’d just phrase it “if it ensures an Obama defeat”. Same thing but it’s more accurate for me personally.
I would pay 5o dollars a gallon if it meant getting rid of gaybama
I just love getting Barack-ed at the pump. If gas was $4 a gallon and the republicans were in charge, the pressitutes would be out for blood. But, as always, their jackass friends get a pass.
The refineries and oil rigs in the path of the Isaac are shutting down, people evacuation from areas in Isaac's path are producing a surge in gas demand, and gas stations are raising prices because they have no idea if they will be getting adequate resupply, and at what price.
Keep in mind that when Katrina hit, Colonial Pipeline, which supplies much of the gasoline to the East Coast and runs along the threatened Gulf coast, was shut down for days.
