🚗 Gas pain relief

Montgomery County • April 8, 2025

​

Good morning, Montgomery County. Your wallet might feel a bit lighter at the pump this week, with Dayton gas prices surging nearly 20 cents to hit $3.04 per gallon. That's a striking 53-cent jump from just a month ago, though savvy drivers can still find relief at stations offering fuel as low as $2.69 per gallon through the Pump Patrol webpage.

While fuel costs rise, the county's cultural scene is also heating up as NATO's Parliamentary Assembly transforms the area into an international hub May 22-26. From theatrical performances like "Between Riverside and Crazy" to free Philharmonic concerts, visitors and locals alike will have plenty to explore. And for those whose adventures work up an appetite, mark your calendars for April 9, when Bleu Wave Seafood & Pho brings its seafood and Vietnamese cuisine to The Mall at Fairfield Commons, complete with opening day specials and signature cocktails.
