Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Depending on where you look, gas prices in the Springfield area are either below $3 a gallon, or above.

GasBuddy.com’s tracker has many Springfield stations averaging under $3 a gallon for unleaded, while AAA has its Sangamon County price average at $3.14.

Either way, both agencies have the statewide average moving down from a week ago. Gas Buddy’s is down more than a nickel to $3.34 a gallon.

“The national average price of gasoline has continued its gentle descent over the last week, with the most notable declines seen in the Great Lakes region, where a minor refinery issue was resolved, sending wholesale gas prices lower,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, in a news release.

For the rest of the country, they predict that now that California gas prices are declining, so soon will be the rest of the country.

The national gas price average, according to GasBuddy, sits at $3.09, while AAA has it at $3.14.
