Gasoline prices in Rhode Island have dropped for the 13th straight week and have hit their lowest point in nearly five years, according to AAA Southern New England.

The average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline fell seven cents last week, to $1.689 per gallon, at the self-service pump, according to AAA's weekly survey.

The price hasn't been this low since January 2004, AAA says.

Rhode Island drivers are paying an average of $2.42 per gallon less than they were when the price peaked at $4.10 in July.
