Gas Price Update: Oswego Prices Keep Falling As New Year's Nears

OSWEGO, IL — 2022 is just about to come to a close and with it a year of fluctuating gas prices. As Oswego residents gear up for New Year's Eve activities and the potential for travel, it helps to keep gas prices in mind.

As of Thursday, the average price for a gallon of gas in Illinois was $3.25 — that's up 2 cents from a week ago and down 54 cents from a month ago, according to AAA.

At around $2.85 per gallon in Kendall County, gas prices were well below the state average. Nationally, the price per gallon of gas is going for an average of $3.15 Thursday.
