Ohio gas prices fall as tax holiday takes effect

Ohio drivers are already seeing results of the state's gas tax holiday — but there are bigger factors that affect the price at your gas pump. Why it matters: Prices may still fluctuate even with the tax break in place, gas price expert Patrick De Haan warns. Catch up quick: Ohioans normally pay 38.5 cents per gallon of gas to fund infrastructure work. Legislators passed a 90-day tax holiday that took effect Sunday and used state reserve funds to offset the lost revenue. Columbus-area gas was $3.73 on average as of Wednesday, about 50 cents cheaper than a week before, per AAA data . Data: AAA ; Note: The gas tax holiday took effect Oct. 4; Chart: Tyler Buchanan/Axios What they're saying: De Haan , head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy , tells Axios that much of the state's tax holiday is already reaching drivers. "It's very evident that it's being passed along very quickly." Yes, but: The tax holiday isn't responsible for the entire drop from recent days. Ohio prices were already falling before the holiday.

A New Highway Could Reshape Travel North of Columbus

As the Galion area is uniquely and increasingly tied to the northern expansion from Columbus, 1831Galion will continue to cover the possible connection between US23 and I71. The long-discussed highway connection now has a preferred route, a projected price tag, and a clearer picture of how much it could change travel across the region. The Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission have released the final U.S. 23/I-71 Connector Feasibility Study, recommending an 18.2-mile highway extending from U.S. 23 north of Waldo to I-71 south of State Route 521. The proposed route would also include an interchange with U.S. 42 north of Ashley.
