Gas prices drop for 5th straight week

Gasoline prices in Rhode Island are the lowest they’ve been since mid-April.

They’ve dropped another 11 cents per gallon over the last week, the fifth consecutive week they’ve gone down, according to AAA Southern New England.

Regular unleaded gasoline at the self-serve pump averages $2.85 today, according to AAA’s weekly survey of prices in Rhode Island. A year ago at this time, just following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the average price of gasoline in Rhode Island was $3.23.

Over the last five weeks, gas prices across the state have dropped a total of 25 cents per gallon.

As motorists who shop around are well aware, prices vary throughout the state. The lowest self-serve price that AAA found for regular unleaded gasoline in its survey was $2.75. The highest was $2.96. Premium unleaded gasoline is as low as $2.99 and as high as $3.23, according to the AAA survey.

Search AAA’s fuel finder to find the best gasoline prices in your area.
