Statewide gas average reaches $5.30 as of Friday


 
UNDATED – Since Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by nine cents, and Illinoisans can expect to pay five dollars or more per gallon filling up this weekend. The AAA says gasoline demand grew as drivers fueled up for Memorial Day weekend travel and crude prices have increased amid supply concerns from the market as the European Union works to implement a 90 percent ban on Russian oil imports by the end of this year. In Illinois, Friday’s statewide average is $5.31 per gallon, and area counties like LaSalle, Putnam, and Bureau, are all averaging around $5.00.
