Northeast Ohio gas prices keep going up

Gas prices in Northeast Ohio continue to rise.
AAA East Central's Gas Price Report shows the average price for gas across Northeast Ohio is 11 cents higher this week at $2.759 per gallon. Monday's average is nearly 60 cents higher than at the beginning of the year.
AAA says the average price of unleaded self-service gas is $2.742 in Youngstown.
According to AAA, every state average has climbed by double-digits since February, resulting in one in 10 gas stations with prices that are $3 per gallon or more.
The national average is nearly 40 cents more expensive compared to a year ago, which was right before state lockdowns and when people started working from home.
AAA says that prices are likely to remain this high with refinery use at a record low, gasoline supplies tightening, demand modestly increasing and rising crude oil prices.
