PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — AAA Northeast said Tuesday gas prices dropped 2 cents in Rhode Island.
AAA Northeast said the average price of gasoline is down to $3.73 per gallon — which is the same price as a month ago and 8 cents lower than the national average.
“Motorists hoping for gas prices to drop substantially in September might be disappointed as the end of the summer driving season is capped with robust Labor Day travel and stronger gasoline demand,” said Mark Schieldrop, AAA Northeast senior spokesperson. “Higher oil prices, coupled with steady demand, could pause the traditional end-of-summer swoon for pump prices.”
This week’s average gas price is 8 cents lower than this time last year.
