For now, we&#8217;ll continue to see small price fluctuations as we await news of any hurricane-fueled refinery disruptions or other supply challenges as we head into the busiest weeks of the summer travel season.&#8221;<br>&nbsp;<br>Historical gasoline prices in Ohio and the national average going back ten years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>July 15, 2023: $3.33\/g (U.S. Average: $3.54\/g)<br>July 15, 2022: $4.43\/g (U.S. Average: $4.55\/g)<br>July 15, 2021: $3.09\/g (U.S. Average: $3.16\/g)<br>July 15, 2020: $2.15\/g (U.S. Average: $2.20\/g)<br>July 15, 2019: $2.81\/g (U.S. Average: $2.79\/g)<br>July 15, 2018: $2.81\/g (U.S. Average: $2.87\/g)<br>July 15, 2017: $2.17\/g (U.S. Average: $2.24\/g)<br>July 15, 2016: $2.20\/g (U.S. Average: $2.21\/g)<br>July 15, 2015: $2.73\/g (U.S. Average: $2.78\/g)<br>July 15, 2014: $3.45\/g (U.S. Average: $3.60\/g)<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VW independent staff\/submitted information Average gasoline prices in Ohio have fallen 11.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.29 per gallon on Monday, according to GasBuddy&#8217;s survey of 5,345 stations in Ohio.
