.S. gasoline prices have dipped another 6 cents due to a continuing skid in crude oil, a new survey finds, with more declines seen on the horizon.
The average price of regular gasoline dropped to just over $3.78 per gallon over the past two weeks, according to the latest Lundberg Survey. That's down more than 12 cents from a year ago and more than 18 cents below its April 6 peak, survey publisher Trilby Lundberg told CNN.
"The cause is continued erosion of crude-oil prices," Lundberg said. With crude oil currently trading at about $91 a barrel, down 11% in a month, "We will see another 5-10 cents in the coming weeks," she said.
Lundberg's California-based company samples prices in about 2,500 filling stations across the continental United States. The latest, conducted Friday, found prices were still hight in the Western states - "but those prices are just trembling on a precipice," she said.
"We can see wholesale prices have been crashing here, and they are about to hit the street," she said.

Chrissy, well you got me on that one. Good twisted sista!
OMG...Now I can afford to put air in my tires with a fill up!
Lmfao @ dazzle, i have a funny bone too, ya know! To be honest i wasnt even sure if it would post.

Used to be, but now a buck will get you about 3 minutes of air or water.
Chrissy, are you sure about that. You are cracking me up. I am in the car with 3 old friends from grade school. Two are zonked out in the back, the driver is fighting with her husband on her mobile and I'm laughing I keep hearing dazzle you are crazy laughing at nothing.They should only know. This is going to be a long drive to the ocean.

And bobcat, WHAT repubicans are you talking about from 2 years ago??
@ portland tony, i know, just strikes me odd that you would have to pay for air! Next thing you know you will be paying to use their bathrooms.
Seems like the world peace may happen afterall. I do believe that the world may have some peace in their mind if your trying to be a good individual, you know have morals. Peace will happen, but that doesn't include natural disasters caused from unnatural chemical reaction. Infinite lifeline. The end.

Even banasy isn't THAT crazy about BO!!
This also is the result of deregulation on wall street during the Bush debacles.If commodity firms were held to accepting deliveries of their futures transactions instead of only holding notes of their purchases with only paying a small percentage,they'd be more hesitant in their actions to manipulate as they would be taking full ownership of said futures ,and even though they are most certainly only the middleman in this gran scheme of making the big bucks,its probably not their money they're gambling with at all....
