Diesel prices also dipped to $3.51, about 19 cents below the national average.
Locally, prices are a little higher. Stations in Grundy Center are showing $2.99 for regular unleaded, while Sheffield in Franklin County is reporting about $2.94, according to GasBuddy and AAA. Officials remind drivers that prices can vary by station and change quickly. For the most current numbers, check resources like AAA, GasBuddy or your local station apps.
