PROVIDENCE – The average price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline declined 3 cents to $2.46 per gallon, 3 cents above the United States average of $2.43 per gallon, according to AAA Northeast Monday.

The price of gas was 17 cents lower at this time last year at $2.29 per gallon. Prices in the state ranged 71 cents from $2.29 to $3 per gallon.

“Prices locally are already down 11 cents from just the start of the year,” said Lloyd Albert, senior vice president of AAA public and government affairs, in a statement. “Continued strong supplies and less wintertime demand is a good sign for motorists heading into the second half of February.”
