Gasoline prices decrease last week

Gasoline price news

Average retail gasoline prices in Ohio have fallen 4.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.66 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 5,345 gas outlets in Ohio. This compares with the national average, which has fallen 1.9 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.65 a gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Ohio during the past week, prices Sunday were 11.5 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 13.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 4.1 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 15.0 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“The national average has seemingly found some relative stability in the last week,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “And while the national average hasn’t seen much movement, some areas of the country have seen volatility continue, mainly in the Great Lakes states, where prices may again be poised to rise in the next couple of days as wholesale prices reverberate as refineries continue their maintenance schedules and the progressive switchover to summer gasoline continues,” DeHaan said.
