PEORIA, Ill. – Average gas prices in Peoria were down less than a penny in the last week, averaging $3.22 a gallon on Monday, according to GasBuddy.
Prices in Peoria are 4.5 cents higher than a month ago, and just under 7.5 cents lower than a year ago.
GasBuddy price reports show the cheapest gas in Peoria on Sunday was $3.04 a gallon, while the most expensive gas was $3.29. The lowest price in the state was $2.57, while the highest price was $4.49.
The national average price of unleaded gas has gone up 4.8 cents in the last week, averaging $3.09 on Monday.
“While some states have seen gas prices inching up, much of the country continues to see mostly stable prices. States that experience price cycling have seen increases, while many others have only experienced minor fluctuations,” says Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“With tariffs on Mexico and Canada currently on pause, trade policy has yet to directly impact fuel prices. However, refinery issues are creating localized disruptions, particularly on the West Coast, where a refinery fire and the transition to summer gasoline are pushing prices higher. Elsewhere, volatility and seasonal trends continue to drive normal fluctuations. For now, the overall direction of gas prices remains typical for this time of year, but we remain on watch for potential policy changes that could impact fuel prices, De Haan says.”
Meanwhile, AAA Illinois says the average price of gas in the Peoria/Pekin metro area as of Monday was $3.24, the state average was $3.25, and the national average price of gas nationally was $3.13 a gallon.
