Gas prices hold steady at $3.52 per gallon in Rhode Island

Gas prices are holding steady in Rhode Island, with an average price of $3.52 per gallon for self-serve regular, the same as a week ago.

AAA of Southern New England says its weekly survey released Tuesday that prices are 21 cents lower than at this time last year, when gas was averaging $3.73 per gallon in Rhode Island.

But the average price in the Ocean State is 9 cents more than the national average of $3.43 per gallon for regular.
