Gas prices near 45133

Hillsboro is the county seat and only city in Highland County, a genuinely rural stretch of southwest Ohio roughly halfway between Cincinnati and Chillicothe. Gas here is shaped less by interstate competition than by the simple fact that this is the trading town for a wide farming area, so the stations on the main routes see steady local demand.

The town sits at the junction of US Route 50 and US Route 62, and the pumps along those highways are the ones worth watching. Because there is no interstate cutting through, prices tend to move with regional wholesale swings rather than a daily price war, and the spread between stations is usually narrow. If you are passing through with a full tank, you can often do a little better in Wilmington or out toward the Cincinnati suburbs, but for everyday fill-ups, comparing the handful of US-50 and US-62 stations against each other is about as much shopping as this market offers.
