COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Prices for gasoline in Ohio have gone up another 3 cents in the past week, and gas now costs 35 cents more in the state than it did last month.

A survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express puts the current statewide average for regular-grade gas at $2.66, up from $2.63 last Monday.

One month ago, regular was averaging $2.31 in Ohio. Last year at this time, the state's motorists were paying just $2.16, on average.

Gas prices continue to climb following oil's recent spike to $82 a barrel, which was largely due to weakness in the U.S. dollar.
