Ohio gas prices up slightly this week

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio drivers can expect to pay about a penny more per gallon at the gas pump this week.

The average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.46 in today’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That’s up slightly from about $3.45 last week.

A year ago, the average in Ohio was $3.68.

Nationally, the average price for regular gas is about $3.49, about 2 cents higher than last week. The national average last year at this time was $3.71.

U.S. oil supplies swelled in June to 22-year highs but have declined since then.
