Dayton gas prices hit $4 mark
by Joe Cogliano
Thursday, April 5, 2012

Motorists across the Dayton region are starting to pay $4 a gallon at the gas pump.

More than a dozen gas stations have raised prices to $3.99 in the last 24 hours and others getting are close, according to daytongasprices.com. Nationally, motorists are paying an average of $3.94, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report.

However, despite the higher prices at some stations, the AAA report still shows a $3.80 average price for regular gasoline in the Dayton-area. That price, which is for regular gasoline, is up from $3.70 a week ago.

The highest recorded average price in the Dayton area was $4.17 in May, 2011, according to AAA.

Economists say big spikes in gas prices can damage the nation’s economy, and some speculate that prices will pass the $5 mark this summer.
