OPEC fails to unify prices as Saudi cuts output
Geneva talks end without a single price as Saudi Arabia keeps its base at 32 dollars and trims production by 1.75 million barrels daily. Analysts say the move leaves the two tier pricing intact and U.S. gasoline prices poised to drift. OPEC members balked at dropping below 36 dollars, prolonging the split until a December meeting in Abu Dhabi.

Lower Gasoline Prices Possible
New York AP reports that U S motorists may see lower gasoline prices as OPEC failed to agree on a base price for crude oil. Analysts say the downtrend could continue due to a global oversupply and slack demand. Saudi Arabia plans a production cut starting in September, but analysts call it a token gesture unlikely to halt price declines.
