PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The average cost of a gallon of gasoline in Rhode Island dropped 2 cents in the past week and remains lower than the national average, AAA Northeast said Monday.
Rhode Islanders are now paying an average of $2.09 per gallon, 3 cents lower than the national average and 41 cents lower than the in-state average one year ago.
“The national gas price average at the start of November has not been this cheap since 2004. If crude oil continues to push cheaper, we could see the national average drop below $2 per gallon before the end of the year,” AAA spokesman Lloyd Albert said in a statement.
Average prices are higher in neighboring Connecticut and slightly lower in Massachusetts.
