Holiday travel season is upon us, and while much of the focus is on air travel, many more people will take to the highways and roads to get together with friends and family for the holidays. Luckily, gasoline prices continue to be low. However, drivers in Connecticut still are paying one of the higher average prices per gallon of regular gasoline in the country. According to the latest

figures provided by AAA, Connecticut has the 10th highest average price in the country at $2.20 as of Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2015.
