US-Iran Tensions Send Rhode Island Gas Price Down 4 Cents
Rhode Island's average gas price dropped by four cents to $4.09 per gallon, according to AAA Northeast's latest survey of fuel prices.
The national average is also down two cents from last week at $4.09 per gallon, with Texas and Indiana having the lowest prices in the nation at $3.59 and $3.60 respectively.
Oil prices have been influenced by easing tensions between the US and Iran, with crude oil falling sharply on reports of cooling hostilities.
