COLUMBUS, Ohio – While much of the rest of the country is getting squeezed at the gas pump, drivers in central Ohio are enjoying falling prices.
Drivers across the country are shelling out $3.67 a gallon on average for regular gas, about 17 cents more than a year ago.
The latest Lundberg Survey says gas prices have gone up more than 8 cents in the past two weeks as retailers pass along recent wholesale price hikes to consumers.
But, a daily survey by the AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express shows the average price in Columbus has plunged 28 cents during the same period, to $3.38.
That price is 6 cents below the statewide average of $3.44.
