COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio gas prices are up to start the work week.

A gallon of regular gas in Ohio was averaging $2.83 in Monday’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That’s up 13 cents from a week ago.

Average prices in Ohio were above the nation’s average, which was $2.80 per gallon on Monday. But Ohio gas prices remain significantly cheaper than last year at this time, when prices were averaging $3.87 per gallon.

Analysts said a good gas supply and stable crude oil prices mean gas prices could stop rising and may drop in the next two weeks.
