It's A Gas Gas Gas, Part 3

With the changeover to summer gasoline formulas underway here in Ohio, gas prices are hitting statewide records.

Auto club AAA says gasoline prices continue to rise to heights never seen before in Ohio.


The statewide average price for regular on Wednesday was a record $4.16 a gallon, according to the daily survey of gas stations done by AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That's three cents more than the previous record, set on Tuesday.

Ohio pump prices have hit three new all-time highs since Saturday. Ohio is now among the 10 states with the highest gas prices; the state's average is 18 cents above the current national average for regular, which is $3.98 a gallon.

Needless to say, all-time statewide average highs being broken in early May does not bode well for say, the price of gas in August.  I can tell you across the river here in Kentucky, gas is somewhat cheaper.  I'm thinking that's not going to last much longer.
