Gas prices fell in Akron a little over 19 cents to an average of $2.68 over the past week.
Nationwide, the average also fell a bit—a little under one cent—to $2.83.
GasBuddy.com reports “While oil prices jumped to their highest level in months amid geopolitical tensions, a weakening U.S. dollar, and supply concerns; the national average price of gasoline saw little change compared to a week ago.”
According to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, “Just over half of states saw gas prices decline, led by Indiana, Ohio, and other price-cycling states that had previously seen prices jump but have since started to fall.
Meanwhile, prices are rising across much of the West Coast as the transition to summer gasoline begins and attention turns to another refinery shutdown in California expected in April. Over the coming weeks, we’re likely to see more states experiencing increases than decreases.”
