Gas prices drop again in Rhode Island

Gas prices fell again in Rhode Island, shedding 5 cents in the last week and 16 cents from last month, AAA Southern New England reports.

Self-serve regular unleaded averaged $2.819 per gallon, the AAA's latest survey found.

A year ago at this time, the average price locally was $3.089. A month ago, on July 16, the average price was $2.979.

The current price is also 27 cents below the highest price recorded in Rhode Island by AAA this year -- $3.089 on May 28.

But the state is still 5 cents above the national average of $2.769 for regular unleaded.

The prices in the latest survey of regular-unleaded self serve ranged from $2.699 to $2.909.

Celebrating miniscule price changes like this is like celebrating a poke in the eye with a sharp stick instead of the usual punch in the gut with a broken whiskey bottle. If the gas companies want to impress me, they can bring prices down to pre-Bush/Cheney rates.
