Driversa demands drives up pump price

The average retail price of a gallon of regular gasoline in Columbus rose for the second week in a row, jumping 7 cents overnight to $2.49, 16 cents higher than on Jan. 22, according to a daily survey from the auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wex, Inc.
