BLOOMINGTON – Illinois gas prices have fallen 2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.32 a gallon.
According to GasBuddy’s daily survey of over 4,387 stations in Illinois, prices in the state are 19 cents lower than a month ago.
The cheapest station in Illinois is priced at $2.79 while the most expensive is $4.49.
The national average inched down a penny in the last week, averaging $3.27 a gallon.
“After a pretty long run of falling gas prices, we’ve seen things stabilize. Oil prices have started to rise as omicron hasn’t been as severe as initially feared, leading to optimism that perhaps oil demand will start to rise in the weeks ahead as cases will eventually plateau,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.
