Ohio gas prices down from last week

Ohio gas prices easing down from last week, close to the national average

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio motorists are seeing lower gas prices to start the work week.

A gallon of regular gas in Ohio was listed at an average of about $3.57 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That's down 11 cents from last Monday's average of $3.68.

The Ohio price this week is about a penny lower than the national average.

The state average is about 16 cents higher than this time last month — but 7 cents lower than at the same time in 2012.

The lowest average price in the state Monday was about $3.48 in the Canton-Massillon areas.
