Gas Prices Down This Week

Ohio gas prices are down to start the work week, following weeks of increases.  The cost for a gallon of regular gas in Ohio is averaging $3.51 in Monday’s survey from Auto Club AAA.  That’s 14 cents lower than last Monday.  Monday’s  price is 14 cents higher than a month ago, but is considerable lower than the $3.72 per gallon that Ohioans were paying a year ago.  The national average is about $3.53 per gallon, which is up a penny form last week, and 14 cents higher than a month ago.  Analysts say ongoing seasonal maintenance at refineries and concerns over simmering tensions in the Ukraine have been  keeping prices up.
