U.S. gasoline prices continue to gently fall, note for diesel consumers

GasBuddy Blog -- High gasoline prices have clearly taken their toll on American and Canadian motorists in the last few months. How fitting that I finally can deliver two weeks of good news, especially in the month of April (yes, I'm squeezing this post in today so I can make use of that), when gasoline prices have historically continued to climb!

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:32,983 Points:2,344,535 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: May 1, 2012 10:58:58 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse U.S. gasoline prices continue to gently fall, fall very very gently! Fuel prices are nowhere near what they should be! Prices rise like a rocket and fall like a feather!
