Rhode Island’s average gas price is up 6 cents from last week ($3.35), averaging $3.41 per gallon. Today’s price is 15 cents higher than a month ago ($3.26), and 4 cents higher than January 30, 2022 ($3.37). Rhode Island’s average gas price is 9 cents lower than the national average.
“January’s weather was relatively mild in much of the nation, which led to more drivers hitting the road. However, a return of wintery conditions in February may see a revival of seasonal driving patterns,” said Diana Gugliotta, Director of Public Affairs for AAA Northeast. “But with the cost of oil stubbornly hovering around $80 per barrel, drivers probably won’t catch a big break at the pump over the next week or two.”
AAA Northeast’s January 30 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 8 cents higher than last week ($3.42), averaging $3.50 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 33 cents higher than a month ago ($3.17), and is 14 cents higher than this day last year ($3.36).
