Gasoline prices in Rhode Island are up two cents this week, according to AAA Northeast.

AAA Northeast’s June 8 survey of prices in Rhode Island finds self-serve, regular unleaded averaging $2.00 per gallon. Rhode Island’s price is three cents lower than the national price of $2.03. A year ago at this time, the average price in Rhode Island was 76 cents higher at $2.76 per gallon.

“The beginning of June has not seen gas prices this low since 2004,” said Lloyd Albert, Senior Vice President of AAA Public and Government Affairs. “But as crude oil prices trend higher and gasoline demand increases, Americans will see gas prices push more expensive, although this summer will be cheaper than last.”

The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 48 cents, from a low of $1.77 to a high of $2.25. AAA advises motorists to shop around for the best prices in their area. Please remember to slow down and move over for any emergency vehicles on the side of the road.
