R.I. gas prices down 3 cents per gallon

-

PROVIDENCE (AP) — Rhode Island residents are paying less to keep their vehicles running this week.

AAA Northeast reports Monday that self-serve, regular gasoline is selling for an average of $2.53 per gallon, 3 cents lower than last week.

That price is the same as the national average, but 31 cents higher that the Rhode Island price a year ago.

AAA also found a wide range of prices, from a low of $2.39 per gallon to a high of $2.79.

An organizati­on spokesman says one factor in lower prices nationally is increased gasoline production that has kept pace with higher than usual demand this winter.
