Gas Prices Staying Higher Than Normal

Northwest Iowa — Northwest Iowans who are filling up the gas tanks of their cars and trucks, and until recently, their snowblowers, are paying more for that gasoline lately.

Gail Weinholzer, at Triple-A Iowa, says gasoline prices are higher than usual.

The average price for gas in Iowa is $2.58 a gallon, up 20-cents from a year ago. Weinholzer says this past weekend’s U.S. led strike on Syria likely isn’t to blame, at least not much.

She says the wintry weather remaining until nearly a month into spring usually means an upturn in gas prices.

The daily Triple-A survey shows Iowa’s most expensive gas is in Dubuque, averaging two-65 a gallon, while the cheapest gas is in Council Bluffs at two-49. Here in our little corner of the state, gas prices are varying by a few cents either side of $2.54 a gallon.
