At $3.41 a gallon, the Hess Station on Bulgarmarsh Rd. in Tiverton is offering the most inexpensive gas in the state today. Commuters are wise to avoid the Mobil Station in West Greenwich near exit 7 on 95 S and its uninviting $4.39 price tag per gallon, the highest in the state.

Rhode Islanders are encouraged to search for the best deals on gas around their homes and businesses.

Today’s local gas prices and their ranges are as follows:

Self Serve Grade
$3.55 ($3.41-$4.39) Regular Unleaded
