Ohio Gasoline Rose 33.1 Cents. The U.S. Average Fell.

The Energy Information Administration’s October 27 survey put U.S. regular gasoline at $4.269 a gallon on October 26, down 1.5 cents from October 19. The national dip did not reach every listed state. Ohio regular gasoline rose 33.1 cents on the week, to $4.380. Colorado regular gasoline rose 18.4 cents, to $4.458, and Chicago rose 19.2 cents, to $4.897.

This updates the October 19 survey, when Ohio was $4.049 and Colorado was $4.274. EIA’s retail table does not explain why those places rose while the U.S. average fell. National on-highway diesel moved differently, but this comparison is about gasoline at the state and city level.

A driver in Ohio or Colorado can pay more even in a week when the national gasoline average edges down. The fuel survey announced no grocery-price change.

Does the small national gasoline dip mean Ohio and Colorado drivers paid less? No. For October 26, EIA shows Ohio up 33.1 cents and Colorado up 18.4 cents, while the U.S. average fell 1.5 cents.
