WE COULD SEE A RISE IN PRICES BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says "for now, gasoline prices may see little movement ahead of July 4 as oil prices have risen above $80. But the good news is that instead of the national average jumping to follow the rising price of oil, it's holding steady. The bummer is that the decreases we hoped for will have to wait, thanks to oil's climb."
