Gas prices both rising and (mostly) falling around Tri-State | Business

CINCINNATI (FOX19) – Gas prices at a few local stations are on the verge of topping 4 dollars a gallon, while at the same time prices at most stations are edging downwards.

The gas prices tracking website KentuckyGasPrices.com reported a price of $3.99 (plus the final .009) per gallon for regular gas at a Boone County station.

FOX19 found that price advertised at the UDF/Marathon at the corner of Mineola Pike and Airport Exchange Boulevard just off 275 north of the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport.
