Gas prices could be lower heading into the 4th of July holiday. A petroleum analyst at GasBuddy, Patrick DeHaan notes that gas prices in the US are lower due to a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Independence Day travel is expected to set a record in Illinois, with 4.2 million total travelers and most of them, 3.86 million, hitting the roads.
The holiday travel will translate into $3.82 million in state gas taxes after Tuesdays annual increase, based on US averages for fuel efficiency and holiday mileage. That is, if drivers buy their gas in Illinois.
