(Radio Iowa) – Gasoline prices remain about 20-cents a gallon shy of their all-time high in Iowa. Meredith Mitts, spokeswoman for Triple-A-Iowa, says prices at the pump appear to have stabilized. “Gas prices have kind of leveled out,” Mitts says. “Prices today are almost exactly the same as the statewide average from a month ago. They’re up a little bit from a week ago but we’re staying in roughly the same 10-cent range.”

The statewide average is three-84 a gallon and Mitts doubts prices will drop dramatically anytime soon. “We’re not seeing the big jumps either direction anymore,” Mitts says. “They’ve kind of leveled out and the crude oil is about $100 a barrel, but we are seeing that demand is kicking back up now that the prices have started to fall again, and since the demand is picking back up, we’ll see that the gas prices are staying roughly the same.”

The start of summer travel season is still several weeks away but Mitts says it’s a safe bet prices will rise around the big holidays like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day. “Those are very heavy travel periods,” Mitts says, “and hopefully we’ll remain roughly level the rest of the summer but it will really depend on how many people want to be traveling, how much of the strategic oil reserves are made available, what’s going on all around the country but also, all around the world.”

Given the current statewide average of three-84 a gallon, that price is more than a dollar higher than Iowa’s average a year ago of two-78. Iowa’s highest-ever average of four-oh-two a gallon was set in July of 2008.

(Radio Iowa) – Crews have been working to clean up and investigate what appears to be a diesel spill at or near a state park in northwest Iowa. Trapper’s Bay State Park sits along the north shore of Silver Lake. Dickinson County Emergency Management director Mike Ehret says someone passing by noticed a shine on top of the water of Silver Lake and the smell of fuel.

“We called over Spirit Lake to bring over some extra equipment and Milford brought up the country’s haz mat trailer,” he says. “We were able to deploy some boom under the bridge that goes between Silver Lake and Trapper’s Bay to try and contain as much as we could into Trapper’s Bay and try and keep any more from getting into the bay itself. A little of it had, but we were just trying to slow that down, basically, at the time.” The spill was reported late last week.

An official with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the investigation isn’t done, but the spill may have happened when an above ground storage tank was overfilled. Silver Lake has more than nine and a half miles of shoreline and covers more than a thousand acres. Trapper’s Bay State Park was established in 1933 and has a picnic shelter that’s on the National Register of Historic Places.
