Gas Price Update: Batavia Prices Could Continue Dropping, AAA Says

BATAVIA, IL — Prices at the pump could see a decline, according to AAA.

As of Thursday, the average price for a gallon of gas in Illinois was $3.54 — that's down 4 cents from a week ago, according to AAA.

At around $3.50 per gallon in Kane County, gas prices were on par with the state average. Nationally, the price per gallon of gas is going for an average of $3.42 Thursday.
