Gas prices are falling in this first week of the new year. Triple-A reports today’s national average price for regular is three-09 a gallon. That’s one cent lower than Tuesday’s average, three cents lower than a week ago, and 15 cents lower than a month ago. Locally on Wednesday, gas prices in Monmouth were at three-05 a gallon. In Galesburg the average price at the pump for regular was three-05 a gallon and in Macomb was down to two-92 a gallon. Across the river in Burlington, Iowa the average price was two-83 a gallon of regular.
The low price leader in the country is Texas, where the statewide average is down a penny, to two-64 a gallon. California again has the nation’s most expensive gas, with a state average of four-71 a gallon.
