According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of regular gas is currently sitting at $4.36, which is certainly not the kind of number anyone wants to see when they pull up to the pump. Gas prices have a way of making everything else feel more expensive, especially when you're filling up a larger vehicle or commuting every day.

So, now that we know what we're dealing with on the national level, let's bring it a little closer to home. What are drivers actually paying here in the Greater Danbury area? We took a look around on Gas Buddy to find the lowest gas prices nearby, because saving even a few cents per gallon can add up pretty quickly when you're filling the tank.
