Gas Prices Fall but Uncertainty Over Iran Talks Clouds Outlook

WASHINGTON, DC – The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is down 12 cents from last week to $4.42, according to recent data, as crude oil prices eased amid reports of peace talks involving Iran. Officials caution the situation remains unstable and prices could rise again if a ceasefire agreement is not reached. Gas prices remain at some of the highest levels in four years and are expected to stay elevated as the busy summer driving season begins. In Illinois, the average price is $4.69, while local averages include $4.75 in DeKalb County, $4.49 in Ogle County, and $4.52 in Lee County.
