Franklin County – So for the last 14 weeks, the nation’s gas average has gone down from an all-time high. Now gas has finally plunged below 3 bucks a gallon.

According to AAA.com, The national average is down 25.7 cents from a month ago but 45.9 cents higher than a year ago.

“With a 14th consecutive weekly decline, the national average price of gasoline has now surpassed 2018’s record decline, seeing its longest downward streak since 2015,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While some states continue to see gas prices trend higher, the majority have continued to decline. However, this week could change the downward trend. With some issues arising in Plains and Great Lakes states as the transition to winter gasoline begins, I think we have the best potential to see the weekly trend of falling prices snapped. West Coast states also continue to see increases as unexpected refinery issues continue to percolate, preventing a downward move. While gasoline could nudge higher, diesel prices should continue to ease after a much-needed jump in inventories last week.”

Pickaway county’s gas average is closer to 3.30 per gallon of gas, thirty cents higher than the North East side of Franklin county where gas is floating around 3 dollars a gallon.

Gas prices according to Gas Buddy are at 2.99 at Turkey Hill in Westerville Ohio. UDF in Circleville is the cheapest in Pickaway county at 3.31.
