COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio gasoline is more than 40 cents a gallon cheaper, on average, than it was last Monday.

The price trackers at AAA and the Oil Price Information Service say the average cost for regular in the state has dropped to about $2.94 a gallon, down from about $3.35 a week ago.

Analysts say fuel prices have been sliding because demand has declined as an economic crisis spreads around the globe.

In Ohio, gasoline costs have fallen nearly 28 percent from the state's all-time high average of $4.05 for regular reached on July 3.

Prices for diesel also have been coming down. According to AAA, it now costs an average $3.85 a gallon in Ohio, compared to a record of $4.75 in late May.

Why is it that WV always has the highest price. It can't be the Gas Tax because PA has a higher gas tax and I always pay at least 30 cheaper when I go there. A friend of mine recently drove her daughter to Maine for College, and she said the highest she ever paid for gas was in West Virginia. I don't get it.
