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.
