Ohio gas prices dip after jumping during holiday
Posted: 07/16/2012
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio drivers are paying less at the pump after gas prices spiked during the Fourth of July holiday week.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.36 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That's down 15 cents from a week ago.
A year ago, the average was $3.62.
Nationally, the average price for regular gas is about $3.40, a couple of pennies higher than last week.
There are signs that crude oil supplies face some constraints, which could push prices higher.
U.S. oil supplies swelled in June to 22-year highs. They've declined since then, as demand started to rise again in the United States. Refineries have cranked up fuel production.
