RI Gas Prices Down Four Cents Last Week

Gas prices continued to trickle down last week in Rhode Island, falling by four cents, according to AAA Northeast.

The state average price for gasoline is now $2.36 per gallon for regular self-serve unleaded.

Prices overall are down one cent from a month ago and six cents below the national average of $2.42.

The lowest price in the March 30 AAA survey was $2.17 per gallon and the high was $2.59, suggesting it pays to shop around.

The dip in gas prices is due in part to the near-completion as refineries are nearly complete transitioning to summer blend fuel production and an overall glut of oil and natural gas reserves across the globe.

Today’s local gas prices and their ranges are as follows:

Self ServeGrade

$2.369 ($2.179-$2.599) Regular Unleaded

$2.629 ($2.379-$2.899) Midgrade Unleaded

$2.769 ($2.519-$3.059) Premium Unleaded

$3.089 ($2.989-$3.479) Diesel
