People, who do not require to fill up their gas tank immediately might want to wait until Monday to go to the gas station because that is the day gasoline prices are lowest in Connecticut.
According to a study, gas prices are the most expensive than they have been in past 19 months and will continue to rise with summer driving season approaching, according to GasBuddy, which analyzed three years worth of fuel price data.
GasBuddy also found that the average gas prices are lowest on Monday in the state, as least this year.
The website lists the average prices of gas in the state as $2.51. Check the gas map to check the differences in prices at gas stations near you.
The website also says that the worst day to fill gas in some states is Thursday, but the worst day to fill up in Connecticut is on Saturday.
“The rise in average prices towards the weekend could be to blame on an influential report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) issued weekly on Wednesdays, which could push prices higher the day after, depending on if the data in its report is as expected or a surprise,” Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy, said in a statement. “Since commodities trading isn’t active over the weekend, it typically allows stations to ‘let it ride’ over the weekend, culminating in lower prices by the start of the work week.”
The website also says that if every single driver in the country buys gasoline on Thursday for an entire year, they would collectively spend an extra $1.1 billion versus filling up on Monday.
Monday is the best day to fill gas in 23 states this year.
