Data from a GasBuddy survey of 500 central Ohio gas stations showed local prices on Monday morning ranging between $3.83 and $4.31 per gallon, a 48-cent difference across the area. Although Sunday’s average price in Columbus was 19.8 cents lower than one month ago, drivers are currently paying $1.30 per gallon more than during the same time last year. With prices exceeding $4 per gallon, filling a mid-size car costs around $60, while a vehicle with a 25-gallon tank, such as a large SUV or pickup truck, costs $100 or more to fill.

Fuel costs escalated statewide and nationally as well. The average price of gasoline in Ohio rose 25.1 cents to $4.16 per gallon. Across the United States, the national average climbed 17.2 cents to reach $4.25 per gallon, standing $1.14 higher than the national mark one year ago. Diesel prices also surged, increasing by 31.6 cents to $6.18 per gallon.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, attributed the price increases in every state to escalating geopolitical tensions, pointing specifically to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing attacks in Ukraine.

De Haan warned drivers that the typical seasonal relief from cheaper fuel formulations may be limited.

“While most of the country transitions to cheaper winter-blend gasoline this week, the scale of ongoing geopolitical escalations makes meaningful price relief unlikely in the near term. Motorists should brace for continued volatility ahead,” De Haan said.

Qiimaha Shidaalka Columbus oo Gaaray $4.21 Halkii Gallon

Qiimaha shidaalka ee magaalada Columbus, Ohio, ayaa sare u kacay toddobaadkii la soo dhaafay, iyada oo halkii gallon uu kordhay 27.3 senti, taas oo ka dhigtay celceliska qiimaha halkii gallon $4.21. Kor u kacan ayaa yimid ka dib markii qiimaha shidaalka ee deegaanka uu jabiyay rikoodhkii fasaxa Labor Day laba toddobaad ka hor.

Sida ku xusnayd baaritaan ay sameysay shirkadda GasBuddy oo ay ka qeyb qaateen 500 oo xarumo shidaal ah oo ku yaalla gobolka bartamaha Ohio, qiimaha shidaalka ee Columbus ayaa subaxnimadii Isniinta u dhaxeeyay $3.83 ilaa $4.31 halkii gallon, oo ah farqi dhan 48 senti. Inkasta oo celceliska qiimaha Axaddii ee Columbus uu 19.8 senti ka hooseeyay midkii la diwaan geliyay bishii hore, haddana wuxuu $1.30 ka sareeyaa qiimihii isla xilligan ee sannadkii hore.

Kor u kacan ayaa saameyn toos ah ku yeeshay jeebka darawallada. Buuxinta haamaha gaariga cabbirkiisu dhexdhexaadka yahay ayaa haatan ku kosta qiyaastii $60, halka gaadiidka waaweyn sida SUV-yada ama baabuurta xamuulka ee leh haamaha 25-gallon ay ku qaadanayso $100 ama ka badan.

Isbeddelkan qiimaha ayaa sidoo kale laga dareemay gobolka Ohio oo dhan iyo guud ahaan dalka. Celceliska qiimaha shidaalka ee gobolka Ohio ayaa stegay 25.1 senti, iyadoo halkii gallon uu gaaray $4.16. Dhanka kale, celceliska qaranka ee Mareykanka ayaa kor u kacay 17.2 senti, wuxuuna gaaray $4.25 halkii gallon—taas oo $1.14 ka sareysa sannadkii hore. Qiimaha nafta (diesel) ayaa isna sare u kacay 31.6 senti, wuxuuna gaaray $6.18 halkii gallon.

Patrick De Haan, oo ah madaxa falanqaynta shidaalka ee GasBuddy, ayaa kor u kacan qiimaha ee gobol kasta ku sababeeyay xiasadaha siyaasadeed ee caalamka ee sii krayay, wuxuuna si gaar ah u xusay xirnaanshaha Marinka Hormuz iyo weerarada ka socda dalka Ukraine.

De Haan ayaa uga digay darawallada inaysan filanin hoos u dhac muuqda xilligan. “Madaama inta badan dalku ay toddobaadkan u wareegayaan shidaalka jiilaalka ee raqiiska ah, baaxadda xiasadaha siyaasadeed ee socda ayaa ka dhigaysa mid aan laga yaabin in la helo hoos u dhac muuqda oo qiimaha ah xilliga dhow. Darawallada waa inay u diyaar garoobaan isbeddel ka sii socda qiimaha,” ayuu yiri De Haan.
