AAA: Ohio gasoline prices climb for 2nd straight week
Posted: 02/06/2012
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio motorists are paying slightly more for gasoline for the second week in a row.
Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express puts the average price for regular at $3.45 a gallon. That's up 6 cents from a week ago.
Drivers were paying an average of about $3.15 at this time last year, before prices climbed to record highs.
Prices have remained high for this time of year, partly because of concerns overseas. Some analysts have been worried about tensions in Iran and potentially weak demand for crude oil in Europe, which is dealing with hefty economic concerns.
