PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Average gasoline prices in Rhode Island have risen once again, up 4 cents from last week.
According to the latest survey from AAA, the average price for regular unleaded is $3.68 per gallon.
The survey showed that the average is up 18 cents from a month ago, and 47 cents from one year ago.
The range in local prices is 18 cents, with prices ranging from $3.61 to $3.79.
Nationally, the average price is $3.56 a gallon, up 5 cents from last week.
Similar to the local numbers, the national average is 17.6 cents higher than last month, and 35.5 cents higher than this time last year.
"As we continue to move towards warmer weather, gasoline prices will follow, with prices accelerating higher at a faster pace come late March into April, so if motorists think this is bad, they should really hold on to their chairs," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan in a statement.
