The state’s gubernatorial candidates are urging lawmakers to lower gas prices by 38 cents by suspending the gas tax, something that Indiana’s governor has done.
Dalton Gibson, of Centerville, Indiana, told News Center 7 that he would often drive to Ohio to fill up his tank. Now, he said friends from the Buckeye State are crossing into Indiana.
“Indiana is usually more pricier than Ohio with stuff, and it’s crazy to see Ohio being more pricey than Indiana with their gas. It’s crazy,” Gibson said.
