FUTURE DECLINES?

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says it was a "tame week" at the pump with the national average price up for a second straight week as oil prices "briefly touched the $70 per barrel mark before sliding late in the week." He says most areas saw modest increases over the last week with the possibility decline in gas prices in the weeks ahead.
