The average cost of a gallon of gasoline has crept above the $4 mark in Connecticut for the first time since May.
According to the American Automobile Association, the threshold was passed Saturday and compares with the average price of $3.99 a week ago and $3.82 last month.
The AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report indicated that the last time regular gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon was May 16. The highest price on record in the state is $4.39 a gallon in July 2008.
Last year at this time, the statewide average was $3.91 a gallon.
"While pump prices started high and moved lower during the summer of 2011, we're seeing the opposite happen this year," according to AAA spokesman Aaron Kupec.
