Average retail gas prices in Peoria have risen 7 cents per gallon in the past week, according to a release from PeoriaGasPrices.com Tuesday. Prices were 14.6 cents per gallon higher than the same day a year ago and .3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan says with the end of the summer driving season, gas prices should move lower as oil rigs ramp back up in the Gulf of Mexico, and cheaper to produce winter-spec higher RVP gasoline coming.
