The fast-spreading outbreak of the coronavirus overseas is evidently causing gasoline prices to fall in Iowa. Rose White at Triple-A-Iowa says the actions by the Chinese government trying to halt the spread of the disease are having a significant impact on the global demand for oil.In turn, gasoline prices across the U-S have been dropping, too. They’ve fallen a dime a gallon in the past month, from two-58 to two-48.

The motor club says the state’s cheapest gas is in Cedar Rapids at two-22 a gallon, while it’s the most expensive in Dubuque at two-34.

In Iowa, the state average is 20-cents lower than the national average, currently at $2.28 a gallon.
