PEORIA Ill. – Prices at the pump, continue to rise in the Peoria area.
Average gasoline prices in Peoria have risen 4.0 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.38 today, according to GasBuddy.
Prices in Peoria are 9.4 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 22.4 cents lower than a year ago.
The Peoria/Pekin average is one-cent higher than the Illinois state average.
“The national average price of gasoline has returned to a slight climb over the last week as Iran’s attack on Israel has slowly funneled to the gas pump, as expected. For now, while Milton has left a third of all stations in Florida without gas, the storm itself is not impacting prices, and the situation in Florida is expected to improve,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “With oil prices recently starting to fall again, the rise we saw could end before you know it. And with restoration happening in Florida, we could start to see a decline in gas prices in the weeks ahead, with a good chance of seeing the first sub-$3 per gallon national average since 2021.”
The cheapest station in Peoria was priced at $3.15 a gallon yesterday — while the most expensive was $3.59.
