| The average price of gasoline in Rhode Island is unchanged this week, according to AAA Southern New England. AAA’s March 2 survey of prices in Rhode Island found self-serve, regular unleaded averaging $1.96 per gallon, the same price as last week. The current price is three cents more than the national average for regular unleaded of $1.93, and is $1.16 less than the $3.12 found a year ago. The range in prices in the latest local AAA survey for unleaded regular is 15 cents, from a low of $1.919 to a high of $2.069. AAA advises motorists to shop around for the best prices in their area, and to make sure they and their passengers buckle up — every time. Today’s local gas prices and their ranges are as follows: Regular Unleaded - Self Serve/Full Serve $1.969 ($1.919-$2.069)/$1.989 ($1.969-$1.999) Midgrade Unleaded - Self Serve/Full Serve $2.109 ($2.039-$2.189)/$2.089 ($2.069-$2.099) Premium Unleaded - Self Serve/Full Serve $2.219 ($2.139-$2.299)/$2.189 ($2.169-$2.199) Diesel - Self Serve/Full Serve $2.449 ($2.239-$2.539)/$2.559 ($2.469-$2.559) AAA Fuel Saving Tip of the Week Avoid quick starts and sudden stops. This wastes fuel, is harder on vehicle components, and increases the odds of a traffic crash, especially in wintry weather conditions.
