Read this as a district figure, not a state figure. The EIA weekly on-highway diesel survey prices the United States, its districts and California, and nothing else. It does not price Rhode Island. The number above is New England (PADD 1A), series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R1X_DPG, and it is the closest published federal figure for Rhode Island. We do not estimate a price for Rhode Island from it. 2 of Rhode Island's neighbouring states sit in the same district and therefore show the same price below.

Neighbouring states
Neighbours in the same EIA district carry the same published figure. A matching price here means the federal survey shows no measured gap across that border, not that pumps are identical.
