"I'm hopeful that the downward trend will continue again this week for a majority of Americans as we see the average price of gasoline start to make a targeted effort to fall below the $3/gal mark for the first time since 2021."Cincinnati and Dayton are both seeing average gas prices under $3 this week, with Dayton's average at $2.89 per gallon and Cincinnati's at $2.97 p[er gallon.</div></body>
