Rhode Island’s average gas price is down 5 cents from last week ($3.49), averaging $3.44 per gallon. Today’s price is 10 cents higher than a month ago ($3.34), and 92 cents lower than May 8, 2022 ($4.36). Rhode Island’s average gas price is 9 cents lower than the national average.
“The oil market volatility is leading to lower prices,” said Diana Gugliotta, Director of Public Affairs for AAA Northeast. “And we are also in a pre-summer driving season lull regarding domestic demand. These two factors should keep pump prices drifting lower for now.”
