PEORIA, Ill. – Average gas prices in Peoria have risen 10 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.67 a gallon on Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 148 stations in Peoria.
Peoria prices are 8.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago, and roughly 2.5 cents higher than this time last year.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest gas in Peoria on Sunday was $3.29 per gallon, while the most expensive gas was $3.89. The lowest price of gas in the state on Sunday was $3.06, while the highest price was $5.19.
GasBuddy says the national average price of gas was up 0.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.41 on Monday.
“With summer now officially here, we’ve seen the national average price of gasoline holding most steady compared to last week, with some states seeing their traditional price cycling every couple of weeks, while others have seen prices slowly slip,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “For now, gasoline prices may see little movement ahead of July 4 as oil prices have risen above $80. But the good news is that instead of the national average jumping to follow the rising price of oil, it’s holding steady. The bummer is that the decreases we hoped for will have to wait, thanks to oil’s climb.”
Meanwhile, AAA says the average price of gas in the Peoria/Pekin metro area on Monday was $3.68, the state average was $3.82, and the national average price of unleaded gas was $3.44.
