Following last week’s brutal cold and severe winter storms, gasoline prices have jumped up to 20-cents a gallon — or more — in some Iowa cities. Nick Jarmusz, a spokesman for AAA Iowa, says the price you pay at the pump depends on where you live.
AAA says the average gas price in Iowa is $2.61. The State’s most expensive gas is found in the state capitol, Des Moines, at $2.67. Sioux City has the cheapest at $2.49.
Jarmusz adds, refinery shutdowns in Texas are typically not a major factor in Iowa’s gasoline prices.
