Gas Prices Up from a Week Ago, Still Cheaper than 2015

If you’re headed into the city for the big Cubs celebration, you can fill up your tank for less than two dollars a gallon.

At least one station in Peru has unleaded for $1.97.  Stations in Ottawa, La Salle, Princeton, Mendota and Streator all range from $2.05 to $2.09 a gallon.

The cheapest gas in the state is in Momence at $1.81 while the most expensive place to fill up is in Chicago at $3.39 a gallon.  The statewide average for unleaded is $2.21, up two cents from a week ago but 13 cents cheaper than a year ago.
