PEORIA, Ill. — Average gas prices in Peoria have risen just over nine cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.76 on Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 148 stations in Peoria.
Peoria’s prices are nearly 10 cents higher than a month ago, and three cents higher than this time last year.
GasBuddy price reports show the cheapest gas in Peoria on Sunday was $3.56, while the most expensive gas was $3.94.
Illinois’ lowest gas price on Sunday was $3.14, while the highest priced gas was $5.19.
The national average price was up less than a penny in the last week, averaging $3.47 on Monday.
“We continue to see a mixed bag when it comes to gas prices across the country: states in the Great Lakes region are still being jolted by the Joliet, IL refinery outage, which has also impacted gas prices in some areas of Canada, while areas like the West Coast continue to see notable declines,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “With the summer winding down and GasBuddy data showing disappointing gasoline demand and struggling oil prices, we could eventually see the national average falling a bit more, especially once the refinery in Illinois restarts operations. While hurricane season hasn’t been a factor yet, it’s also just starting to get into its prime, and that does remain a quiet wildcard for now.”
