Average Gasoline Price In Ohio Rises

Ohioans are paying a penny more for a gallon of gasoline this week. Triple-A says the average price is now 3-dollars-46-cents, up 22 cents from a year ago, but 3 cents below the current national average. Oil industry analysts blame the increase on operational problems at two Midwest refineries. Spokesperson Doug Shupe predicts prices will be fairly steady through the summer.
