PROVIDENCE – The average price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline in Rhode Island declined 2 cents week to week to $2.16 per gallon, 3 cents below the national average of $2.19 per gallon, according to AAA Northeast Monday.
“Typically lower supply levels translate into higher pump prices. However, even with consistent declines in gasoline supplies, that’s just not the case right now,” said Lloyd Albert, AAA Northeast senior vice president of public and government affairs, in a statement. “Despite the steady supply dip, continued low levels of demand helped push gas prices cheaper on the week.”
