PEORIA, Ill. – Average gas prices in Peoria are unchanged in the last week, averaging $3.33 a gallon on Monday, according to GasBuddy.
Prices are nearly 5 cents higher than a month ago, but almost 41 cents lower than this time last year.
GasBuddy price reports show the cheapest gas in Peoria on Sunday was $3.18 a gallon, while the most expensive gas was $3.49. The lowest price in the state was $2.52, while the highest price in the state was $4.49.
The national average price of unleaded gas was also unchanged in the last week, averaging $3.10 a gallon on Monday. The national average is down 3.8 cents from a month ago, and 52.6 cents lower than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data.
“Average gasoline prices in the U.S. have been volatile over the past week, with roughly half of the 50 states seeing prices decline while the other half experienced increases,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“Oil prices, which had fallen into the $50 per barrel range at the height of Trump’s trade war, have since rallied and are now holding in the low $60s, leading to rising gas prices in some states. For now, I expect the national average to bounce around in the $3.10 to $3.20 per gallon range over the coming week, with a continued mixed bag for consumers—about half of the states may see prices inch lower, while the other half could experience increases. We’ll be watching for any market developments, but for now, the market appears to be in a holding pattern.”
Meanwhile, AAA Illinois says the average price in the Peoria/Pekin metro area on Monday was $3.34, the state average was $3.41, and the national average price of gas was $3.14 a gallon.
