West Haven drivers save 6 cents at five reporting stations

Drivers filling their tanks in West Haven this week are paying less than the average Connecticut motorist, according to data from AAA and the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The five gas stations in the town currently reporting prices to tracking services averaged $4.18 per gallon for regular gasoline. That rate sits approximately 6 cents below the state average of $4.24.

The local pricing gap exists despite a general downward trend across the region. The Connecticut average fell by about 5 cents from the previous week. It also dropped by 22 cents from the figure recorded one month ago. However, drivers are still paying a premium compared to last year. The state average in November 2025 was $3.04, meaning costs have risen by roughly $1.20 per gallon over the past 12 months.

West Haven rates are slightly higher than the national benchmark. The EIA reported the national average at $4.15 per gallon as of Nov. 2. That figure represents a 12 cent decline from the prior week. The EIA groups Connecticut with the rest of New England, where prices averaged $4.15. Consequently, the West Haven average is 3 cents above both the regional and national figures.

Specific station prices in the town show a range of 20 cents between the lowest and highest available rates. The cheapest option is the CITGO station at 540 Derby Ave., which lists regular gasoline at $4.09. The 7-Eleven at 480 Saw Mill Road charges $4.15, while the Valero at 528 Main St. is priced at $4.17.

Two Shell stations report higher costs. The location at 5 Jones Hill Road sells gas for $4.19, and the station at 261 Platt Ave. charges $4.29. Thirteen other stations in West Haven did not have current price reports at the time of data collection. These figures reflect the most recent reports available and may shift as stations update their pump prices several times a week.
