JANUARY 1, 2006 --

Prices in Torrington, Connecticut, were generally down about four cents from the previous week.

The price of regular at the gas station on Winsted Road (old Route 8) was 2.25.9.

In New York gas prices are 20 cents higher, or more. LPR agrees with the view that lower taxes help the economy prosper. LPR wonders why a similar point is not made about lower prices.
