Gas prices down in Rhode Island
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Gas prices are on the decline in Rhode Island partially thanks to a lack of storm activity.
The average price per gallon in Rhode Island is two cents lower than last week, averaging $3.45 per gallon.
This price is six cents higher than a month ago and seven cents lower than this time last year.
Rhode Island’s average gas price is five cents lower than the national average.
“While hurricane season runs through November, the current lull in Atlantic tropical storm activity has helped fuel recent declines in oil and gas prices, which now seem to be following the seasonal trend of gradual decline after the Independence Day holiday period,” said Jillian Young, Director of Public Relations, AAA Northeast.
