Gas Price Update: Oswego Continue Falling Ahead Of Labor Day

OSWEGO, IL — With Labor Day weekend here, many are planning to hit the road and visit a new place. Much to drivers' relief, gas prices in Oswego continue dropping.

The average price for gas in Illinois is $4.15 per gallon as of Thursday, according to AAA. That's 6 cents cheaper than a week ago and about 48 cents lower than the average a month ago.

At around $4.09 per gallon in Kendall County, gas prices were slightly below the state average. Nationally, the price per gallon of gas remains below $4 for an average of $3.82 Thursday.

"Drivers are now benefiting from gas prices that are $1.11 less than their peak in mid-June," Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson, said in a statement. "But now we need to keep an eye on the weather as hurricane season arrives. These storms can affect prices by disrupting oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and impacting large coastal refineries."

Declining prices or not, it helps to know which station to visit to save a little.
