"Bay State gas prices drop for 7th week" by Associated Press | August 26, 2008
Massachusetts residents planning a Labor Day road trip got some good news with another 8 cent drop in gas prices. AAA Southern New England in its weekly survey, released yesterday, reported an average price of $3.62 per gallon for self-serve regular. It's the seventh consecutive week of lower prices. Gas prices have plummeted 46 cents since July 7. Prices in Massachusetts are 6 cents below the national average.
Meanwhile, oil prices ended a choppy session slightly higher yesterday, edging back above $115 a barrel after Tropical Storm Gustav formed in the Caribbean. Crude traded erratically most of the day in lockstep with a wavering US dollar, which has become the focal point for investors trying to figure out whether crude is going higher or lower.

It always tracks back to the dollar, readers, even if the MSM tries to minimize it. That dropping piece of doo-doo responsible for price rises!
