Monday, February 8, 2010 9:07 AM
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Prices are a nickel higher this week at Ohio gas pumps, despite a drop in oil prices.
A survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express puts the current statewide average for regular-grade gasoline at $2.56 per gallon, up from $2.51 last Monday.
Oil prices fell sharply late last week as concerns over high unemployment in the U.S. and swelling debt levels in Europe cast doubt over the global economic recovery.
Ohio motorists are saving more than 20 cents a gallon compared to a month ago, when the average for regular was $2.77 around Ohio. One year ago, gas was averaging a much cheaper $1.83 statewide.
