Expert: Gas Prices Dropping Like A Rock Analyst Says Prices Could Go Well Below $4 A Gallon By Labor Day Reporting Susan Carlson CHICAGO (CBS) ¯ Finally, there's some good news about gas prices. They've dropped nationwide by about a nickel, and as CBS 2's Susan Carlson reports, analysts are predicting even bigger drops through the rest of the summer. For the first time in awhile, drivers can fill up at the pump without a pained expression. "We saw a substantial drop in the price of crude oil, which it appears gas station owners were in a hurry to pass on to consumers," said Phill Flynn, Vice President an Senior Market Analyst at Alaron Trading. AAA reports gas prices in the Chicago area are averaging $4.25 a gallon Wednesday. That's down from $4.27 Tuesday, and $4.33 last Friday. "So often we hear gas prices rise like a rocket and drop like a feather, this time, they're starting to drop like a rock and that's a good thing," Flynn said. That's partly because demand is down about 4 percent from where it usually is. Many people have put the brakes on driving this summer because it costs too much. The promise of a bargain has many people flocking over the border. At a gas station on Indianapolis Boulevard in Hammond, Ind., CBS 2 found gas for just $3.75 a gallon. "I rehab houses in the area, Gary and so forth, so it's worth the while to drive over from Crete," said Troy Brown. Customers are pouring into Luke's Gas Station from the south suburbs and other parts of Indiana. "I'm just over in Highland, a few miles away, and as soon as you cross over into Hammond, the gas is at least 10 cents cheaper," Suzanne Stinnett said. But soon, you may not have to go as far as Hammond to get a good deal. Analysts say right now, gas prices are on track to keep plummeting through the end of the summer. "We could see $3.70 in the city and if we get really lucky, maybe $3.50 by Labor Day," Flynn said. |

Dropping like a rock? they can write that story when it hits $2. $3.50 does not sound like a deal to me. |

Capacity utilization was down a few percentage points yesterday. Let the manipulation begin/continue! If gas drops much farther we are probably in for major refinery maintenance program. |

Well folks, you might have your refinery capacity interruption now. Last Friday there was a crane collapse (million pound mobile crane, one of the largest in the country)at LyondellBasell refinery in Houston. 4 killed and the crane was scheduled for the start of a turnaround next week. Not sure how long the refinery will be down, and wether or not it will affect production long term, but it's liable to have a short term impact. |

saw regular unleaded gasoline priced $3.589/gallon @ Citgo, $3.609 @ Chevron and $3.619 @ Texaco ..... yesterday in NW Houston/Spring area. Two of these stations are adjacent each other and the Citgo is down the road a little bit. Go a mile outside that area and prices were in the $3.799 to $3.999 range again...... maybe a local gas war? My daughter-in-law told me that they saw gasoline $3.549/gallon yesterday in Victoria, TX. Hopefully, the lower prices will remain awhile.

I'm concerned for the oil speculators. How will they earn a living now with prices dropping? (NOT!!) |
