Gas Prices Surge Again Nationwide | Columbus News

Gas prices are surging nationwide, with nearly every state seeing hikes—especially in Ohio near Columbus, where prices could hit $4 a gallon soon. Last week alone, prices jumped 2.5 cents to an average of $3.90, reversing a recent dip. Compared to a month ago, it’s only slightly up, but a year ago, prices were nearly $1 cheaper—meaning a 15-gallon tank now costs $15 more than it did last year. At $4 a gallon, filling up a 15-gallon tank costs $60, and a 25-gallon truck? That’s $100. Diesel’s also climbing, up 22 cents to $5.08. Experts warn these hikes will continue as long as global shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz stay disrupted. That brief relief? Gone. Prices are headed back up.
