According to the Energy Information Administration, national fuel prices are about the same level as they were in June. “Iowa prices have risen in July, but are holding below the national average,” said Kerri Johannsen, data analyst for the Iowa Office of Energy Independence.
“Gas prices are typically high this time of year due to increased summer demand. This year, oil prices have largely been following the stock market and reacting to news of economic recovery and gas prices have been following the oil market trend.”
