Connecticut Gas Prices Rise 7 Cents in a Week

Prices at the pump continue rising after falling from the $4 mark.


In just a week, the average price of gas in Connecticut rose from $3.63 to $3.70, according to price tracking website Connecticut Gas Prices.

Prices peaked in April at nearly $4.16 a gallon, but then bottomed out to $3.60, the lowest price since January. Since the Fourth of July, prices have steadily risen from $3.60.

“Those who stuck around the low gas price party expecting it to last have realized they’re out in the cold,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Oil prices are well off their recent lows, and we’ll likely continue to see the national average rise in response. Most regions should see prices rising.”

Lowes sells a 5 KW solar panel kit for $11,499 (installation not included Model #: GS-5000-KIT). TheRead More kit specifications indicate it can produce between 3,600 KWh to 8,400 KWh per year. In Connecticut 1 KWh costs around $.17+- depending who your energy producer is. When I multiply 8,400 times 17 cents, my calculator says the money saved by this $11,499 investment is between $612 to $1,428 per year. Green power from Con-Ed supplied via CL&P to my home costs an extra penny per KWh. This means I can avoid the $11,499 out of pocket and pay $36 to $84 per year to get the same green energy from my utility. Why would anyone pay $11,499 vs $84?
