Little change to gasoline prices in Missouri

There was very little change to fuel prices on a national, state or local level over the past week. Missouri’s average cost per gallon of regular and diesel fuel stood at $2.86 and $3.27, respectively.

On a local level, only rural Bollinger County prices saw a significant downturn, dropping 10 cents to $2.84 a gallon on average. Most other localities remained much the same in terms of prices as they had been before.
