COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio gasoline prices are up 4 cents from last week, continuing a steady climb that the government says will take pump prices beyond the $3 mark.
A survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express puts the statewide average for regular-grade gasoline at $2.72 per gallon, compared to $2.68 last Monday.
Prices at Ohio pumps are 23 cents higher than they were a month ago but are 7 cents below the current national average of $2.79.
The federal Energy Department said last week it expects gas prices to surpass $3 per gallon as more motorists hit the road this spring and summer.
A year ago, gas was almost a dollar cheaper in Ohio, averaging $1.84 for regular.
