$2.99 a gallon in Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 16, 2012 - 4:56pm

What goes up must come down - eventually. Here's a welcome sign on Bluffton's Main Street. This photo shows the sign on the Bluffton Marathon at the corner of Main and College. The price of one gallon of gas dropped below $3 for the first time in, well, a long time. On Dec. 15 the price was slightly above $3, but it changed on Dec. 16. 

Prices in Findlay, for example, were at least 15 cents higher than Bluffton yesterday, so The Icon believes this price is unique to Bluffton.
