Southington Gas Price Survey: An Update

The price of gas at local stations has risen sharply in the past two weeks as a result of the US war with Iran. To help local residents deal with the hike, we decided to update the gas price survey we conducted this past December and draw up a list of all the posted gas prices at local stations in order from least to most expensive.

Our list below gives the lowest price for regular gas advertised at each station as of Sunday, March 15. As most gas-buyers are aware, stations usually tack on an additional fee of 8-10 cents per gallon for payments made with a debit or a credit card, and premium grades and diesel fuel typically run higher, anywhere from 10 cents to $1.00 more per gallon.

Gas at name-brand stations like Mobil, BP, Shell, or Sunoco tends to be more expensive, while independent stations tend to have cheaper gas. The two most expensive stations in Southington are Mobil ($4.299) and Sunoco ($4.279) on West Street, which are located across from each other just north of the I-84 exit. The two least expensive are BJ’s ($3.229) – although their fuel is only for sale to members – and the Cumberland Farms on West Street ($3.379).

About half of the stations we surveyed had prices that fell in the $3.50 to $4.00 per gallon range. The average for regular gas across all stations, $3.669, is slightly above the state average, which was $3.645 per gallon as of March 15. The national average that same day was $3.718 per gallon.
