Gas prices below $3 at several Mahoning Valley stations

YOUNGSTOWN — Just a few weeks ago Ike Omran priced his gas at $2.99 a gallon for regular, unleaded because he was celebrating his 15th anniversary at Fast Fuel on Youngstown-Poland Road.

Omran today priced his gas at $2.89 for a variety of reasons, but primarily because of the decreased cost for crude oil.

“We are actually making a little money, too,” he said. “The price goes down and we go down. That is what happens.”

Orman was not alone in the $2.89 trend. Gateway Gas and Food on Market Street was reported by AAA East Central to have a price of $2.89, and so did Big Apple Supermarket on McGuffey Road, Kwik Fill on Youngstown-Poland Road in Struthers and Morgan Oil on Lowellville Road in Struthers.

AAA Central reported the area average at $3.07, while it was about $3.13 last week for regular gas.

The nation’s average was reported at $3.16 and the state’s was at $3.13.
