COLUMBUS — Gas prices have set a new all-time high in Ohio for the second time in less than a week.
Auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express reported today that the statewide average price for regular-grade gasoline has reached $4.13 a gallon. That breaks the record of $4.11, set on Saturday.
Many analysts think the run-up in gas prices will not be long-lasting. They expect we’ll see prices going down by Memorial Day as more fuel becomes available.
Ohio’s prices are 16 cents above the national average for regular, now $3.97 a gallon. Among the state’s big metro areas, Cincinnati has the highest prices, with regular averaging $4.15.
