Gas Prices Remain Uncertain

(Undated) – The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded is continuing to fluctuate. GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis, Patrick De Haan, says last week was a bit of a mixed bag for gasoline prices, with prices increasing early but falling again in recent days. He says last week saw oil prices jump, but then promptly fall as economic concerns with weak demand sapped the upward move. Gasoline inventories also saw another large rise, putting downward pressure on gas prices, and leaving an opportunity for the national average to potentially fall back below $3 per gallon. De Haan says we’ll have to see if the stars align for such a move. The current national average is $3.08 a gallon, up three cents from yesterday.
