Gasoline Prices Up

Ohio motorists are paying 12 cents a gallon more for gasoline this week.Triple-A spokesperson Sarah Schimmer says a better-than-expected jobs report last week and other factors pointing to economic growth have pushed oil prices higher.

The statewide average price of gallon of regular gas is 3 dollars 68 cents, 16 cents above the national average, and ten cents lower than during the same week last year.
