Providence, R.I., November 22, 2021 — Rhode Island’s average gas price is up 1 cent from last week ($3.41), averaging $3.42 per gallon.

“The price of crude oil accounts for about 50%–60% of what consumers pay at the pump, so a lower oil price could eventually translate into better gasoline prices for drivers,” said Lloyd Albert, Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs at AAA Northeast.
