Providence, R.I., January 25, 2021 — Rhode Island’s average gas price is up three cents from last week ($2.34), averaging $2.37 per gallon. Today’s price is 18 cents higher than a month ago ($2.19) and 19 cents cheaper than January 25, 2020 ($2.56). Rhode Island’s average gas price is 3 cents lower than the national average.
“Most motorists continue to see gas prices increase, but at a slower rate than the past few weeks,” said Lloyd Albert, Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Northeast. “Part of that is due to more stable crude oil prices throughout January. However, if demand continues another week of substantial increases, we can expect to see pump prices get more expensive.”
AAA Northeast’s January 25 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 2 cents higher than last week ($2.38), averaging $2.40 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 15 cents higher than a month ago ($2.25), and 12 cents cheaper than this day last year ($2.52).
