Oil Sell-Off Could Force Prices Down At The Pump
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — For months, soaring gas prices have made drivers aggravated and angry but prices could drop fifty cents by the end of the month.
Crude oil prices plummeted this week from $114.83 on Monday to $97.18 by Friday, a drop of 15%. Even though gas prices are still expensive, this could start to trickle down to the gas pump, up to a drop of 20, 30 or 50 cents by Memorial Day Weekend.
Even with the drop, the average price of filling up an average gas tank will still be $60-70 per car.
