Gas prices have hit a 12-year low for July according to AAA.
The auto club said abundant fuel supplies and declining crude oil costs have dropped average prices to about 55 cents less than they were a year ago.
Consumers can now find at least one station selling gas for less than $2.00 a gallon in 36 states.
Connecticut is not one of those states, with one of the most of expensive averages in the northeast at $2.36 a gallon.
For now, the price of oil continues to drop due to the potential for steady production and abundant supplies. Many analysts have predicted that oil prices could drop even more later this year, which would likely lead to lower gas prices.
