Gas prices in Akron have dropped by 17 cents over the past week, based on the latest data from GasBuddy released early Monday. As a result, the average gas price in the city now stands at $2.95 per gallon.
In Cleveland, gas prices have decreased by 10.8 cents, bringing the city’s average price to $3.02 per gallon. This marks a 1.1 cent drop from prices a month ago and a 26-cent increase from a year ago, according to GasBuddy.

“After a few weeks of rising gas prices, the national average has reversed course, declining as we close out 2024,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “2024 will mark the second consecutive year of a decline in the national average. Tomorrow, GasBuddy will release the 2025 Fuel Price Outlook, offering insights into what motorists can expect in the year ahead. In the week ahead, we’ll likely see gas prices fall in some states, while the Great Lakes region may experience another price cycle. Overall, I expect the national average to remain mostly stable. Motorists interested in GasBuddy’s 2025 Fuel Price Outlook can visit our blog or social media pages on Tuesday for a detailed month-by-month breakdown of gas and diesel prices, along with forecasts for all 50 states.”
