Gas prices continue to sink

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The price of a gallon of gasoline in Rhode Island continues to sink.

AAA Northeast found in its weekly survey released Monday that the price of self-serve, regular is averaging $2.87 per gallon, two cents lower than last week.

That’s three cents higher than the national average and 61 cents per gallon higher than it was a year ago.

AAA found self-serve, regular gasoline selling for as low as $2.69 per gallon and as high as $3.09 in Rhode Island.

AAA says domestic oil production is at an all-time high, acting as a buffer to price increases at the pump.
