Cheapest Gas Near Me: Southbury Prices Shift To Neutral

SOUTHBURY, CT — Northeast gas prices are taking a pit stop as demand remains soft and continues to track below year-ago levels, according to the Automobile Association of America.

In Southbury, the best price for a gallon of regular fuel is $3.44 at the CITGO station at 56 Main Street South, posted Tuesday afternoon, according to shopping app GasBuddy.

Statewide, a gallon of self-service regular is averaging $3.27, the same price as last week and 3 cents higher than this time last year. The national average is also $3.26, down 1 cent from last week and 10 cents lower than last year’s price.

Here are some other gas stations where you can save, in and around Southbury:

• Shell, 121 Main Street N, $3.49 per gallon
• Mobil, 1244 Strongtown Road, $3.59 per gallon
• Mobil, 718 Main Street S, Woodbury, $3.44 per gallon
• Shell, 24 Main Street N, Woodbury, $3.44 per gallon
• Mobil, 62 Churchill Road, Newtown, $3.21 per gallon
• CITGO, 67 Churchill Road, Newtown, $3.10 per gallon

News that the large BP-Whiting refinery in Indiana, offline since early February due to power issues, is reopening soon may have contributed to easing pump price nerves, according to Alec Slatky, managing director of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Northeast.

"The seasonal trend of price increases ahead of spring is paused, for now," Slatky said. "Prices could be wobbly over the next few weeks as we creep our way out of winter and get closer to when refineries switch to producing summer blend fuel."
