Drivers traveling along the I-80 corridor between Peru and North Utica are seeing a significant drop in gas prices, with some locations offering the lowest rates in the area. Quick Time and Love’s in North Utica are leading the charge, with regular gasoline priced at just $2.94 per gallon. Other stations, including Flying J, Sapp Bros, Shell, BP, and Casey’s, are close behind, reporting prices at $2.99 per gallon.
In contrast, prices away from the I-80 corridor remain higher, averaging $3.29 per gallon. Ottawa stands out as the most expensive, with regular gas reaching $3.59 per gallon.
The declining prices along this key highway are a welcome relief for drivers, particularly as other areas continue to grapple with higher costs. The trend raises questions about whether these lower prices will extend beyond the I-80 corridor in the coming weeks.
