Rhode Island’s average gas price is up 5 cents from last week ($3.24), averaging $3.29 per gallon. Today’s price is 7 cents lower than a month ago ($3.36), and $1.06 lower than March 13, 2022 ($4.35). Rhode Island’s average gas price is 18 cents lower than the national average.
“Less expensive oil and fewer people fueling usually combine to lower pump prices,” said Diana Gugliotta, Director of Public Affairs for AAA Northeast. “However, there is some upward pricing pressure at the moment due to the switch to summer blend gasoline, which may add about five to ten cents per gallon. But if demand and oil costs remain low, this recent price bounce may fade.”
