PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The cost of a gallon of gasoline in Rhode Island is up another 6 cents in the past week, to its highest level since early January.
AAA Northeast reports Monday that self-serve, regular is selling for an average of $2.32 per gallon.
The Rhode Island price is 8 cents lower than the national average of $2.40, but 17 cents per gallon higher than the in-state average a year ago.
AAA found self-serve, regular selling for as low as $2.18 per gallon and as high as $2.39.
AAA says prices are climbing amid production cuts by OPEC nations, seasonal refinery maintenance and increasing demand.
