PROVIDENCE – The average price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline remains unchanged from one week prior at $2.50 per gallon, 5 cents below the national average of $2.55 per gallon, AAA Northeast said on Monday.

One year prior, prices were 2 cents higher at $2.52 per gallon. Prices this week range by 31 cents, from $2.38 to $2.69 per gallon.

“Prices generally are within a few cents of where they’ve been throughout the fall,” said Lloyd Albert, senior vice president of AAA public and government affairs. “In the lead up to the holidays we may see a small spike in demand, but not enough to impact gas prices substantially.”

  • Midgrade gas averages $2.80 per gallon, ranging from $2.66 to $2.99 per gallon.
  • Premium gas averages $3.00, ranging from $2.86 to $3.19 per gallon.
  • Diesel fuel averages $3.00, ranging from $2.88 to $3.35 per gallon
