PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The average cost of a gallon of gasoline in Rhode Island has dipped down by a penny, AAA Northeast reported Monday.
Gas is now selling for an average of $2.13 per gallon, which is also a penny lower than a month ago and 51 cents lower than the price in the state one year ago.
Rhode Island’s average gas price is 4 cents lower than the national average.
The average Rhode Island price is slightly higher that the average price in neighboring Massachusetts, but a nickel lower than in Connecticut.
“In the last four weeks, motorists have seen prices slowly decrease, despite gasoline demand last week reaching the highest level since mid-March, according to the latest Energy Information Administration weekly report,” AAA spokesman Lloyd Albert said in a statement. “Gas prices are stalling, if not decreasing, at the vast majority of pumps around the country.”
Prices may have peaked for 2020 barring a major hurricane, he said.
