Cheapest Gas Near Me: Prices Surging In Brookfield, But There's Hope
BROOKFIELD, CT — Prices at Brookfield pumps are surging, but there is some evidence the trend may reverse in the short term, according to research from AAA Northeast.
In Connecticut, a gallon of self-service regular is averaging $3.70, up 20 cents from last week and 28 cents from one month ago. The national average is $3.67, up 4 cents from last week and 14 cents from last month.
But softening gasoline demand, falling oil prices and growing oil and gas inventories could stave off even more rapid price increases for the time being, according to Alec Slatky, managing director of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Northeast.
“Drivers might be seeing red at the gas pump this week, but there are signs that the pace of price increases could ease,” Slatky said. “It’s not unusual to see a lull in demand between the end of spring breaks and Memorial Day. Regional gasoline inventories are ahead of last year’s levels – and growing. And oil prices, which had been climbing since the start of the year, fell sharply last week after markets digested the latest developments in the Middle East and lackluster demand figures from China, the world’s largest oil importer.”
Here is AAA’s weekly price survey of Connecticut’s six metro regions.
- Greater Bridgeport: $3.75
- Lower Fairfield County: $3.74
- Greater Hartford: $3.68
- New Haven/Meriden: $3.68
- New London/Norwich: $3.68
- Windham: $3.74
In Brookfield, the best price for a gallon of regular fuel is $3.49, member prices available at the BJ’s Wholesale and Costco shopping clubs, and at the CITGO gas station, all on Federal Road. The update was posted Tuesday morning by shopping app GasBuddy.

This CT city is one of the ‘Top 100 Best Places to Live in the US,’ according to Livability
Livability released its annual list of small to mid-sized cities throughout the nation where residents can “truly thrive,” according to its website. Livability analyzed more than 100 data points in eight essential categories to measure a city’s overall health and “fun factor.”
The Fairfield County city was named to the list for being “home to a charming downtown, excellent schools, an arts community” and its proximity to New York City.
Danbury ranked high for its health, safety and amenities such as dining variety and access to parks and museums. Livability highlighted places in the city such as Danbury Museum, Railway Museum, Danbury Music Centre, Ives Concert Park, The Palace Danbury, Aldrich Museum, Danbury Ice Arena, Thrillz Park, Tarrywile Park and the Danbury Fair Mall.
Some of Livability’s top reasons to move to Danbury include the city being a “commuter’s dream,” as it is 50 miles from New York City and an hour from Hartford. The website also stated that Danbury is “affordable” compared to other Connecticut cities, with a median home value of $417,303, an average household income of $91,100 and median monthly rent of $1,679.
Livability also described Danbury as a “regional powerhouse for retail and health care” and stated that it was “one of the most diverse cities in the country” for its culinary and cultural scenes.
Danbury previously was named to Livability’s “Top 100 Best Places to Live in the U.S.” list in 2024 and 2025.
