Ohio gas prices down heading into holiday week

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio motorists are seeing lower gas prices as they prepare to travel for Thanksgiving this week.

The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Ohio was $ 2.74 in Monday’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That’s down 13 cents from a week ago and a quarter from last month at this time. Last year’s state average heading into the Thanksgiving holiday was $3.25 per gallon.

Ohio’s average is lower than the national average, which was $2.81 per gallon Monday. That’s 8 cents less than a week ago and 26 cents less than last month at this time.

Analysts say gas prices will likely remain low through the end of the year.
