Gasoline prices eyed to rise slowly says local station owners
Conoco Service on Mount Vernon Road and Jeff's Mobil on Second Avenue SE expect prices to climb to around 1.40 to 1.45 by summer, not jump to 1.50. Oil firms may raise prices gradually to avoid consumer outcry, while area stations report current per gallon rates from 1.219 to 1.36. An AAA survey shows Iowa statewide prices from 1.143 for diesel to 1.352 for full service gas.
