Summary
$3.61 a gallon was the Dayton average on June 22, down 18.5 cents from a week earlier and more than 92 cents below a month ago, according to GasBuddy's survey of 391 stations.
GasBuddy said the drop reflects reduced U.S.-Iran hostilities, but warned prices could reverse quickly if threats around the Strait of Hormuz or renewed U.S. strikes push oil higher.
Dayton pump prices still remain 57.6 cents above a year ago, with local stations ranging from $3.09 to $3.99 a gallon.
Nationally, gasoline averaged $3.85 a gallon Monday—down 67.2 cents from a month ago but up 67.3 cents from a year earlier—while Dayton typically runs below the U.S. average.
Even after the recent pullback, Dayton prices remain near their highest levels since 2022, when regular unleaded hit $4.94 after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
