Instead, gas prices are up by nearly 13 percent in February alone, per a new study from the Lundberg Report. More specifically, gas prices increased by 12.6 cents per gallon nationwide — for a total average of $3.37 per gallon.
That’s enough to make most drivers feel gassy.
But it only gets worse. The report added that oil prices are only expected to increase during the election year — meaning it might not get better until December, a month after President Joe Biden has either won a second term or is defeated.
“According to AAA, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky are all under that $3.37 average price per gallon,” WLWT reported.
“AAA says Ohio is seeing an average price of $3.29 per gallon, with Hamilton County among the highest prices for gas in the state, at $3.34 per gallon.
“Indiana comes in with an average price of $3.28 per gallon. A couple of counties, including Dearborn and Ohio counties($3.16), are among the lowest prices in the state.
“AAA says Kentucky is among the lowest-priced states East of the Mississippi river, coming in at $3.05 per gallon.
“However, prices in Northern Kentucky – including Campbell ($3.41), Kenton ($3.17) and Boone ($3.12) – are among the highest in the state.”
