PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The average price of a gallon of gasoline in Rhode Island has dipped a penny in the past week to $2.13, and lower prices are expected to continue, AAA Northeast said Monday.
The current average is 4 cents lower than it was a month ago and 38 cents lower than it was in the state one year ago.
Rhode Island’s average gas price is a nickel lower than the national average of $2.18.
“Demand is likely to see some declines in the weeks ahead as drivers traditionally take fewer road trips in the fall,” AAA spokesman Lloyd Albert said in a statement. “That will mean gas prices are likely to push cheaper throughout the month.”
Rhode Island’s average is higher than in Massachusetts but lower than in Connecticut, AAA said.
