Gasoline prices are dropping across Ohio and analysts say the downward trend will continue past $3 per gallon, a level that drivers haven't seen since February.
"We're going to get below $3, maybe $2.80 or $2.90," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultants Ritterbusch and Associates.
The average price today in Columbus was $3.21 a gallon for regular unleaded, according to Gaspricewatch.com, though some stations are already selling gas near the $3 mark.
