The Hess station on Queen Street and the Food Bag on Meriden Avenue are each reporting their prices at $3.80 per gallon for regular.

"The national average has seemingly found some relative stability in the last week," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "And while the national average hasn't seen much movement, some areas of the country have seen volatility continue, mainly in the Great Lakes states where prices may again be poised to rise in the next couple of days as wholesale prices reverberate as refineries continue their maintenance schedules and the progressive switch over to summer gasoline continues," DeHaan said.

Compared to last year, Connecticut prices are 9.9 cents lower than this time one year ago and are 5.1 cents lower than one month ago.

Nationally, gas prices have dropped 4.1 cents since last month and are 15 cents lower now than a year ago, according to GasBuddy.com.
