PEORIA, Ill. – Gas prices in Peoria have dropped a penny a gallon in the last week, averaging $3.65 on Monday, according to GasBuddy.
Prices in Peoria are just over a cent higher than a month ago, and nearly 7.5 cents a gallon higher than this time last year.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest gas in Peoria on Sunday was $3.37, while the most expensive gas was $3.89. The lowest price in the state on Sunday was $3.09, while the highest priced gas in the state was $5.19.
GasBuddy’s national average price of gas is unchanged in the last week, averaging $3.46 a gallon on Monday.
“The national average price of gasoline has nudged higher over the last week as oil prices have continued to push toward multi-month highs. While it looks like this recent rise could be restrained for now, Hurricane Beryl is a stark reminder that hurricane season could play a role in prices in the weeks ahead,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “For now, we’ll likely continue to see some fluctuations in either direction with the national average moving up, but as we approach August and the peak of hurricane season, there remains a risk that the national average could surge temporarily if we see a major storm in the wrong place.”
Meanwhile, AAA says the average price of gas in the Peoria/Pekin metro area is $3.66, the state average is $3.80, and the national average price of unleaded gas is $3.50.
