PROVIDENCE – The average price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline in Rhode Island dropped 1 cent, to $3.03 per gallon, 12 cents lower than the national average, AAA Northeast said Monday.
The average price of regular gas in the state was $2.14 per gallon one year ago.
“For pump prices to push less expensive, OPEC will need to follow through with their production increases, crude will need to sell consistently at lower prices and the market will need to adjust to the potential resurgence of COVID cases,” Lloyd Albert, senior vice president of public and government affairs for AAA Northeast, said in a statement. “If these factors prove true consistently, pump prices could be less expensive in August, though the national average could still be at or above the $3 per gallon mark.”
• Midgrade gas is averaging $3.36 per gallon.
• Premium gas is averaging $3.61 per gallon.
