Gas prices increase for the 12th week, hit $4.11
Gasoline prices have gone up for the 12th straight week in Rhode Island, increasing three cents, according to AAA Southern New England.
The average price for regular, unleaded gasoline is $4.109 per gallon at the self-service pump, according to AAA's weekly survey.
Rhode Island drivers are paying about $1.15 more per gallon than they were at this time last year. The price of gas has increased about one dollar since the beginning of the year.
Here's AAA's fuel saving tip of the week: Don’t idle your car unnecessarily.
When your car idles, your fuel economy is zero miles per gallon, AAA says. Rather than idle in the drive-through line, park and walk in, AAA says.
Drivers can find up-to-date local gas prices and tips for saving gas at the AAA Web site.
(Correction: An earlier version of this blog said prices had increased for 11 straight weeks.)
