Ohio drivers are paying more than $4 a gallon again, with AAA listing the state average at $4.22 on April 29. (gasprices.aaa.com) WTOL reported Ohio’s average was $4.08 on April 28, up more than 30% since February. Lucas County was about three cents below the state average. (wtol.com) The national average was $4.23 on April 29, according to AAA. Ohio’s $4.22 put the state almost exactly in line with the U.S. price. (gasprices.aaa.com) AAA said the national average moved above $4 on April 2 for the first time since August 2022. The group tied the jump to crude oil above $100 a barrel and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the Middle East conflict. (aaa.com) WTOL said the higher oil market is lifting more than pump prices. Domestic summer airfare is up 18%, and some international airlines have cut flights while U.S. carriers raise bag fees. (wtol.com) AAA’s April 2 advisory compared this runup with 2022, when U.S. gas prices stayed elevated from March through August and briefly hit $5 a gallon nationally in June. (aaa.com) For Ohio drivers heading into the summer travel season, the immediate change is simple: a fill-up now costs noticeably more than it did just weeks ago. (wtol.com)
