Connecticut's average price of $4.030 per gallons ekes past California’s average of $4.025 per gallon, said Tom Kloza of GasBuddy.com in a statement.
In a set of “fascinating facts,” which may or may not make you feel better about what you are paying, Kloza also said:
- Four states are averaging more than $4 per gallon: Hawaii at $4.364 per gallon, Alaska at $4.072 per gallon, Connecticut at $4.030 per gallon and California at $4.025 per gallon. Last year at this time, only one state was averaging more than $4 per gallon – Hawaii.
- Hawaii is the only state reporting 100 percent of its stations charging more than $4 per gallon. Also, 63 percent of that state is charging more than $4.25 per gallon.
- At 70 cents more than the national average, Hawaii has the highest average of the 50 states. South Carolina has the lowest prices in the country at $3.33 per gallon, or 32 cents less than the national average.
