While some states have seen gasoline prices bounce dramatically in the past week, AAA Iowa spokesman Brian Ortner says increases in pump prices here have been much more moderate.
It’s costing more to fill up the tank in Iowa now than it did in late May, but Ortner says that’s typical during the transition from spring to summer.
With the summer driving season in full swing and the 4th of July holiday coming up next week, he says pump prices may still inch higher.
While Iowa’s average gas price is $3.04, the national average is $3.22. Gas prices across Iowa are widely varied, with the cheapest gas in Council Bluffs at $2.89 a gallon and the most expensive in Dubuque at $3.17.
