Iowa Gas Prices Fall In April Say Analysts
Des Moines AP reports Iowa average gasoline prices dropped 2 cents in April. Self-serve unleaded average 87 cents per gallon, down from 93. Diesel at 94 cents, down 1 cent. Analyst Larry Dombrowski attributes the drop to higher refinery runs and large gasoline inventories. He notes inventories are 18 percent higher than a year ago and forecasts prices stay low into May with a gradual rise in June and July. He expects prices to stay well below the 1985 summer peak and under $1.24 per gallon.
