The average price of gas in Connecticut dropped four cents this week to $3.70 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.com.

The national gas average, in comparison, fell only 1.6 cents to $3.50 per gallon, GasBuddy.com reports.

"The slow trend downward in the national average has survived another week," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "While unprecedented, the decline in the national average certainly has delighted motorists who are used to large spikes in gasoline prices that come with the territory of springtime. With Memorial Day just five weeks away, there's good news for motorists: prices will likely continue to lag behind year ago levels," DeHaan said.

Here are some more gas price statistics from GasBuddy.com:

  • Connecticut prices are 41.9 cents lower than a year ago, and were 18 cents higher one month ago.
  • National gas prices fell 14.5 cents per gallon from last month and are 34.7 cents lower than one year ago.
