RI gas price 12 cents lower than national average

Posted

Rhode Island’s average gas price is the same as last week, averaging $3.06 per gallon. Monday’s price is 2 cents higher than a month ago and 93 cents higher than August 16, 2020. Rhode Island’s average gas price is 12 cents lower than the national average. 

“Although a drop in demand has helped to minimize pump price increases and stabilize the national average, elevated crude prices continue to keep pump prices high as the end of summer draws near,” said Lloyd Albert, Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Northeast.

 AAA Northeast’s August 16 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to 1 cent lower than last week, averaging $3.18 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 2 cents higher than a month ago, and $1.01 higher than this day last year.

AAA, gas
