Gas prices continue to climb as the summer travel season approaches. Triple-A says the average cost for a gallon of regular no-lead gas is running three-dollars-49 cents on average across the Land of Lincoln. That’s up three cents overnight. Locally the cost for a gallon of gas jumped by another nickle overnight to three-dollars-36 cents a gallon on average, meaning gas is some 20 cents more expensive per gallon than it was Tuesday of this week. A gallon of gas is running 3.27 on average in Iroquois County, 3.36 in Ford County and 3.39 in Grundy County.
Across the State Line, a gallon of gas will set you back 3.11 on average in Newton County, 3.27 in Benton County and 3.19 in Jasper County. Triple- A says gas is running 3.26 on average across the Hoosier State. Experts blame middle east unrest and the start of the summer driving season for recent price increases.
