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 Tiverton and Little Compton, prices were still well above $3 a gallon.

Here were the lowest prices as of Tuesday:

Tiverton:

• Hess, $3.15
• Dania Food Mart, $3.29
• Tiverton Gas, $3.29
• United, $3.29

Little Compton:

• Sam’s Club, $3.12
• Hess, $3.15
• Shell, $3.15
• Prime Energy, $3.15

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.
