Gas prices continue to fall in Springfield and around the state, and are now at their lowest levels of this calendar year.
The average price for regular unleaded in Springfield is down to $3.02 a gallon, more than 70 cents a gallon lower than it was just a month ago. It’s the lowest price in well over a year, as gas stood at around $3.30 to $3.40 a gallon last December and January.
Prices began to take off after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, peaking at a record high of $5.27 a gallon locally back in June.
