The Hess station on Queen Street also offers cheaper than average gas at $3.82 per gallon while the Food Bag on Meriden Avenue is reporting their prices at $3.83 per gallon.

"Relief at the pump has continued for motorists in a majority of the United States during the last week," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "I would caution motorists, however, not to sound the all clear. Refineries will be continuing their switch over to cleaner burning gasoline, and there certainly is the possibility that one mishap could send prices racing higher, much to the disappointment of motorists nationwide," DeHaan said.
