PROVIDENCE – The average price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline in Rhode Island increased 3 cents week to week to $2.06 per gallon, 7 cents lower than the national average, AAA Northeast said Monday.
Prices in the state ranged 46 cents, from $1.83 to $2.29 per gallon. One year prior, prices were 61 cents higher at $2.67 per gallon.
“Demand levels are likely to ebb and flow in the coming weeks as people continue to be cautious about travel,” said Lloyd Albert, senior vice president of AAA public and government affairs, in a statement. “As a result, pump prices will likely continue to increase, but at a slower rate through the end of the month.”
