Gas Drops Below $3 in Part of R.I.--But Not in Coventry

By Jason Claffey

Gas prices are at their lowest levels in Rhode Island in more than four years.

Gas at the Geko station in Providence dropped to $2.99 a gallon this week, according to GasBuddy.

In Coventry, prices were still well above $3 a gallon. Here were the lowest prices as of Tuesday:

• BJ’s, $3.17
• Lukoil, $3.19
• Coventry Petro, $3.21
• Cumberland Farms, $3.22

The average price of gas statewide was $3.28—9 cents higher than the national average, according to the Associated Press. Prices have been driven down by low demand and abundant supply.
