The Ohio figure isn’t far off the national average listed at about $3.44 on Monday.
Among Ohio’s metropolitan areas, the Youngstown-Warren region logged the lowest average at about $3.32 per gallon, a dime cheaper than the statewide average.
Analysts have expected prices to stay lower during August if refinery production remains strong and unexpected problems don’t increase oil prices.
