Gas prices are now over $3 a gallon in Connecticut for the first time since December 2014, according to the AAA Allied Group. The average gas price in Connecticut is $3.01 per gallon in Connecticut and $2.858 nationwide.
Experts from AAA say the price of gas is expected to continue to rise at least into Memorial Day weekend, but possibly longer, after the president withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and re-imposed sanctions.
The average family will spend about $200 more on gas this summer than last, according to AAA.
