NEO gas prices up more than 11 cents for the holiday trips
Northeast Ohio gas prices are up more than 11 cents to $3.279 as 13.9 million drivers in the East North Central region — Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin — embark on their holiday travel trip, according to the AAA East Central.
The national average price of gas has been ticking higher in the days leading up to Christmas. The low for 2013, which was also the lowest price since February of 2011, came on Nov. 12 when the national average registered $3.18 per gallon.
Today’s national average price at the pump is $3.258 per gallon; almost two cents less expensive than one month ago, but up nearly four cents from last week and up a penny from the same date last year.
