PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The price of gasoline in Rhode Island has halted its climb.
AAA Northeast says Monday its weekly survey found self-serve regular selling for an average of $2.99 per gallon_the same as a week ago.
That’s five cents above the national average of $2.94. The average price of gasoline in Rhode Island is 66 cents higher than it was a year ago.
AAA found gas in the state selling for as low as $2.79 per gallon to as high as $3.19.
Northeast Senior Vice President Lloyd Albert says continued growth in crude oil production is helping reduce crude prices. He says “it signals that supply is growing alongside strong global crude demand.” The state is one of 33 to have gas prices remain unchanged in the past week.
