Ohio Gas Prices Today

Regular gasoline in Ohio averages $3.90 per gallon as of the EIA week of 2026-08-10 — $0.11 below the national average of $4.01. Ohio prices usually sit near or below the national average thanks to Midwest refining and moderate taxes, but the region is known for volatility: it depends heavily on a handful of large refineries (Toledo, Lima, Whiting), so a single outage can send Ohio prices up 30–50¢ in days — followed by equally sharp drops.
