However, climbing gasoline prices are not today's story, but rather falling prices- and they continue in North American markets.

The national average took another nice drop in the last seven days, falling 4 cents per gallon in the U.S. and 3c/L for our Canadian friends. I even managed to see a price of $3.28 in Tulsa, Oklahoma this morning at two Sam's Club locations there- a pretty reasonable price given...

Seems a pattern has been broken recently, will be interesting to see what happens with Gas Prices this summer.
