COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio gas prices are lower than they were a week ago and below the national average.
A gallon of regular gas in Ohio averaged $2.23 in Tuesday’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That’s down 13 cents from a week ago.
Ohio’s average Tuesday was 11 cents below the average price of $2.34 reported nationally. The national average was 3 cents lower than it was a week ago.
Those prices are higher than at this time last year, when Ohio drivers were paying about $1.71 per gallon and the national average was $1.90
AAA says the decrease in retail prices can be attributed to less demand and adequate supply, but adds that the downward trend may only be temporary.
