Gas prices tumble around Ohio as summer starts to wind down

COLUMBUS (AP) — Gas prices around Ohio are tumbling further toward the $2 mark.

The state’s average for a gallon of regular gas was about $2.31 in today’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That’s a decrease of 15 cents compared with a week ago. It’s down $1.17 from this time last year.

The national average today was $2.65, down six cents from a week ago.

The cost of gas for Ohio drivers has been declining from a summer peak in June, and that’s expected to continue.
