RI Drivers Paying Higher Prices Than Rest Of Country

The cost of gas dips a bit in the Ocean State but the price at the pump is still higher than the national average.

Triple-A says drivers in Rhode Island are paying four-dollars-and-63-cents for a gallon of regular today.

That's eleven-cents lower than a week ago but 12-cents higher than national average of four-52.

The highest prices are posted in Newport County at four-67 followed by Providence County at four-65, Washington at four-64 and Kent County at four-61-a-gallon.

Meantime, President Biden says he's doing what he can to lower prices at the pump.

Biden said based on his discussions in Saudi Arabia, he expects to see "adequate supplies" to meet global oil needs.

The White House did not announce any major breakthroughs on oil production, but the President said the Saudis share a sense of urgency when it comes to increasing supply.
