The price for a gallon of gas in Ohio has dropped 23 cents over the past week according to Triple A which says the Ohio average price is $3.93.  That’s 28 cents lower than the current national average of $4.21.

That drop is also reflected here in the Valley, at least on the Ohio side of the state line.

While Triple A showed average gas prices in Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana Counties at $3.79, the average in Mercer County remained virtually unchanged from the week before at $4.49.

The cheapest price per gallon locally as of Monday according to Gasbuddy.com was $3.47.

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration, gas demand increased last week. It could pressure pump prices and slow price decreases if the trend holds. Additionally, total domestic gasoline stocks decreased, signaling that higher demand reduced inventory last week according to Triple A.
