Average Iowa gas prices decline
GasBuddy said refinery maintenance ending and cooler weather are easing fuel costs, but analysts warned Iran-related oil-market risks could quickly reverse the decline.
- Gas prices fell nationwide and across Iowa on Friday, with the national average dropping 17.1 cents to $4.12 per gallon and Iowa prices declining 18.9 cents to $4.02 per gallon.
- Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, attributed the declines to refinery maintenance wrapping up and seasonal demand fading as cooler weather arrives.
- Diesel prices also fell 5.9 cents to $6.281 per gallon. Regional variability shows Quad Cities at $4.21, Omaha at $3.96, and Des Moines at $3.85 per gallon.
- Despite recent relief, prices remain elevated compared to last year. The national average stands $1.13 per gallon higher than a year ago, while Iowa prices are $1.29 per gallon higher.
- De Haan cautioned that market volatility could return quickly following the election, as uncertainty over the Iran conflict continues to threaten oil markets.
