AAA Oklahoma says the price of gasoline is inching higher in the state.
AAA said Monday the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Oklahoma is $2.07 per gallon, two cents higher than a week ago and five cents above the mark recorded just two weeks ago.
AAA spokesman Chuck Mai says the national average gas price has increased for 12 of the past 14 days, reaching Monday's price of $2.26 per gallon. That's three cents more than one week ago and eight cents more than one month ago.
The central U.S. has some of the cheapest prices in the nation, with four states in the top 15 lowest: Arkansas at $2.05, Missouri and Oklahoma at $2.07 and Tennessee at $2.14.
