WTI crude has risen $1.14/bbl over the past month. Retail gasoline typically follows crude moves with a 2–4 week lag as refined fuel works through the supply chain.

Regular gasoline in Ohio is currently averaging $3.871 per gallon, up $0.187 from last week as crude oil prices have climbed. This weekly increase puts Ohio slightly above the national average and reflects broader market pressures affecting the Midwest region. Gas prices in Ohio typically track seasonal spring demand patterns, and the current upward trend is worth monitoring as summer driving season approaches.
At the current rate, filling a typical 15-gallon tank costs about $58.07, compared to roughly $55.25 the previous week. Ohio's price sits above the national average, partly due to the state's 39-cent-per-gallon fuel tax—one of the higher rates in the nation. The spread between regular and premium stands at about $1.07 per gallon, reflecting typical refinery margins for higher-octane blends.
Ohio's gas prices are heavily influenced by its location in the Midwest refining corridor and access to major pipelines from the Gulf Coast that supply products from refineries in Texas and Louisiana. The state's 39-cent fuel excise tax is one of the highest in the US and directly adds to pump prices, making Ohio's prices generally higher than neighboring states with lower taxes. Environmental blend requirements for the summer ozone season, which begins in May, also push prices upward as refineries shift to costlier low-volatility formulations.
WTI crude is trading near $95 per barrel while Brent crude sits at $109.62, and these wholesale prices typically flow through to Ohio pumps with a 2- to 6-week lag as product moves through pipelines and into local tank farms. The current $14-spread between Brent and WTI reflects geopolitical supply constraints and refinery demand, which historically translates to 25 to 40 cents of additional cost at the pump over time. Ohio drivers should expect potential further upward pressure on prices if crude continues to rise, though refinery utilization rates and seasonal maintenance schedules can also influence final pump prices.
💡 Money-Saving Tip: Ohio drivers can save money by filling up on Mondays or Tuesdays, when stations typically adjust prices downward following weekend demand—apps like GasBuddy let you track hourly changes at nearby stations. Consider switching to ethanol-blended E85 fuel if your vehicle supports it, as it's often 30 to 50 cents cheaper per gallon at participating stations throughout Ohio, though fuel economy will be slightly lower.
With crude oil prices elevated and seasonal blend changes locked in through early fall, Ohio gas prices are likely to remain firm or edge slightly higher over the next 2 to 4 weeks. Watch for any announcements about Gulf Coast refinery outages or pipeline disruptions, as Ohio's heavy dependence on distant refineries means supply issues can quickly ripple through to local pump prices.
Regular gasoline in Ohio currently averages $4.776 per gallon, up $0.905 from last week. Prices are sourced weekly from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and reflect averages across retail stations in the region.
