CHICAGO – The pain at the pump may be drifting away, but gas prices are still above $4 a gallon locally. The American Automobile Association say the national average for a gallon of gasoline is at $3.79, but drivers in LaSalle County will be paying $4.09. Bureau County has the least expensive fuel in the region, at $3.94 a gallon. The Illinois average is at $4.27 a gallon. Weak domestic gas demand and waffling global oil prices are the main reasons for the slow drop in price, although much lower West Coast gas prices are playing a part too.
