PROVIDENCE – The average price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline in Rhode Island declined 1 cent from last week to $2.13 per gallon. That’s 4 cents lower than the national average of $2.17 per gallon and 51 cents cheaper than prices a year ago, AAA Northeast said on Monday.
“In the last four weeks, motorists have seen prices slowly decrease, despite gasoline demand last week reaching the highest level since mid-March, according to the latest Energy Information Administration weekly report,” Lloyd Albert, AAA Northeast senior vice president of public and government affairs, said in a statement. “Gas prices are stalling, if not decreasing, at the vast majority of pumps around the country. We may have seen gasoline prices peak for 2020, barring any major hurricane(s).”
