Drop in gas prices ends but no spike seen
The Associated Press reports gas prices rose about half a penny after a 20 cent drop since May 21, yet no price spike is expected due to lower crude oil prices. Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey notes the national average for all grades is 31.91 with self serve regular at 1.88, mid grade 1.97, and premium 2.07. He says crude oil’s drop should push pump prices down into Labor Day and beyond unless oil supply falls.
