COLUMBUS: Ohio motorists are once again seeing lower gas prices compared with last week.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas in the state was $3.37 in Monday’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That’s 25 cents lower than a week ago.
Ohioans are also paying less than a month ago, when the average price was $3.71. But they’re paying more than this time last year, when the state average was $3.26.
The national average Monday was $3.66, down 12 cents from a week ago.
Across the world, oil prices rose Monday after violence in Lebanon sparked fears of wider unrest in the Middle East.
