"Over the last week, gasoline prices have risen across a majority of the country, following the price of oil which has been rising as of late," said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. "OPEC's meeting this week could steal the focus and propel markets higher or lower, depending on the outcome of the meeting, but for now, the most likely outcome would put pressure on oil prices to rise, especially if there's talk of another oil production cut from the cartel.”
Including the change in gas prices in Dayton during the past week, prices on Sunday were 6.2 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 2.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 1.4 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 11.7 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
The average price for a gallon of gas in Dayton Monday morning is $2.22, with prices stable, according to GasBuddy.com. The cheapest gas Monday morning is $2.13 at Marathon on North Dixie Drive.
In Hamilton, the average price for a gallon of gas is $2.28, with prices stable. The cheapest gas is $2.11 at Sunoco on Hamilton Cleves Road.
In Springfield, the average price for a gallon of gas is $2.22, with prices stable. The cheapest gas is $2.19 at Marathon on Springfield-Xenia Rd.
“Unfortunately, motorists are likely to see gasoline prices continue to rise in more places than prices fall,” DeHaan said. “But it's not all bad news — gasoline prices nationally continue to hold somewhat near their summer lows, something that wasn't at all expected earlier this year."
