AURORA, Ill. – Depending on which entity you ask, gas prices are now either under four dollars a gallon in Peoria, or just at that level.
AAA says the current average price for a gallon of unleaded in the Peoria-Pekin metro area is $4.006, more than 20 cents lower than the week before.
GasBuddy.com, however, has the average price near $3.95 in this area.
The AAA survey indicates the price of gas is a full 86 cents a gallon cheaper than a month ago, and 68 cents more expensive than a year ago.
GasBuddy is warning that prices might start to increase again after nine straight weeks of declines, because oil prices are rebounding, and wholesale prices have shot up 40 cents a gallon.
