Northwest Iowa — We’ve seen the price of gasoline come down a bit in recent weeks here in northwest Iowa, and according to a report from the Iowa Department of Agriculture, that trend has been brought on by falling crude oil prices.
The average price, statewide, for a gallon of gas dropped 4-cents this week, to $2.25. The national average also fell 4-cents, to $2.32 a gallon, according to Triple-A.
In Sheldon, as of early afternoon Friday (June 16th) the price for a gallon of gas averaged $2.24 per gallon, once cent per gallon below the statewide average. That’s down 5-cents a gallon from one week ago.
The price of crude oil fell this week, causing the decline in gasoline prices, according to the report from the Iowa Department of Agriculture. Good news, coming just in time for Father’s Day Weekend travelers.
