DY: Gas prices in Ohio up, 55 cents more than year ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gas prices in Ohio are up again after dipping amid a decline in oil prices that came after Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak stepped down.
A survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express reports the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Ohio is nearly $3.09. That's up from about $3.03 a week ago, and it's about 55 cents higher than the average a year ago.
Concerns that violent protests spreading in Libya could disrupt crude supplies from the OPEC nation have started pushing oil prices higher this week.
