For the first time since November, the average price of gasoline in Rhode Island has dipped below $3 a gallon. But the reprieve may be temporary with oil prices rising the past few days and the annual spring run-up just around the corner, according to The Providence Journal.

The average price of regular, self-serve gasoline was $2.999 a gallon yesterday, down 4 cents from last week, according to a survey of local dealers by the state’s Office of Energy Resources.

The average price has fallen 16 cents from its most recent peak of $3.159 a gallon on Jan. 7.

Home-heating oil rose 2 cents a gallon to $3.329 a gallon, according to the Office of Energy Resources, 10 cents below the all-time high of $3.429 a gallon, also on Jan. 7.
