9:26 a.m.: Gas $1.62/gallon

POSTED: December 1, 2008

Tribune Chronicle

After a more than two-month slide, Ohio gasoline prices have leveled off.

The average pump price is unchanged from last Monday at $1.71 in the daily survey from AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express.

The best local gas prices are $1.62 per gallon at Flying J in Hubbard, $1.69 per gallon at Speedway on Vienna Avenue in Niles and $1.70 per gallon at Gasland on Larchmont Avenue in Warren.

Prices in Ohio are 11 cents below the national average of $1.82.

Ohio gas prices reached a peak of $4.05 a gallon in early July and spiked again just below $4 in mid-September after Hurricane Ike hit the Gulf Coast and states including Ohio. Since then, the states gasoline prices had been dropping steadily as oil prices skidded more than 60 percent from the summers high of almost $150 a barrel.

clefmeister - I agree. Oil is down almost 10% this morning alone. With the economies around the world tanking, this has a ways to go before it reaches bottom. At least I'm hoping it does!

I think it's a bit premature to say that gas prices have "leveled off." Gas prices might be unchanged over last Monday's prices, but demand was surely up over the past few days with the Thanksgiving holiday. Maybe there weren't as many travelers as usual, but there were still a good number out on the roads.
