The Fourth of July weekend was expected to see 2.05 million people in Ohio traveling by car to their destinations with 167,694 of those coming from the Dayton Metro Area, according to GasBuddy analysts.
Though demand over the holiday may be high, prices in the area continue to fall.
“For now, gasoline demand will likely ramp up as we enter the peak of the summer, with millions of Americans set to take to the roads with some of the season’s lowest average gasoline prices,” said Patrick De Haan, senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.
