PROVIDENCE – The average weekly price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline in Rhode Island increased to $3.51 per gallon on Tuesday, 1 cent higher than last week and 5 cents below the national average, according to AAA Northeast. 

“We may be in a bit of a demand lull heading into the July Fourth holiday,” said Diana Gugliotta, director of public affairs for AAA Northeast. “Drivers are benefiting financially, with 20 gallons of gas costing nearly $30 less than last year. And with the cost for oil low, drivers will find pump prices that are flat or drifting slightly lower for now.”
