PROVIDENCE – The average price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline in Rhode Island increased to $3.35 per gallon on Monday, 10 cents more than last week and 7 cents lower than the national average, according to AAA Northeast.
“Gas prices are up as crude oil prices have risen to levels not seen since mid-November, thanks to expectations that cooling inflation will spike demand in the United States and China’s economy bounces back from COVID-related shutdowns,” said Diana Gugliotta, director of public affairs for AAA Northeast. “Even though national crude inventories have rebounded and are now substantially above average, some of the surplus is due to a drop in refinery output in recent weeks.”
