Gas prices have declined slightly

Posted June 20th, 2008 by Charles Langley

UCAN News

Today, UCAN's gas survey at www.ucan.org showed a statistically significant price decline of 1.3¢ for regular unleaded gasoline in San Diego County. Whether the new, slightly lower price is a trend toward dropping prices, or a speedbump on the road to $5 a gallon gas remains in the hands of NYMEX oil speculators. If anonymous NYMEX buyers keep bidding up the price of oil, then gas prices will continue to climb in San Diego. It should be noted that 90% of the futures buyers on the NYMEX can not take delivery of the oil when the contracts are due - these are industry outsiders whose lust for quick profits has created the perception of increased demand (see our commentary Paper Money Chasing Paper Barrels).

The new average price is $4.607 a gallon. Diesel prices have declined, too, dropping to 5.005 a gallon, from $5.04 a gallon last Friday (see below for historical data).

The price cuts have been spurred in part by slightly lower oil prices on the futures market. In recent months, local gas prices have reflected changes in the future NYMEX price of oil, which means that consumers are paying for the future price of gasoline today. Oil prices dropped yesterday on rumors that China would reduce its oil consumption by raising gasoline prices. In addition, the Saudis are expected to produce more oil, although it is unlikely that this will have a significant effect on decreasing prices.

Price History:

Price today:
Regular Unleaded = $4.607, Diesel $5.005

Price Last Friday:
Regular Unleaded = $4.614, Diesel = $5.04

Price this day last Month (May 20, 2008),
Regular Unleaded = $3.99, Diesel = $4.86

Price this day last year (May 20, 2007):
Regular Unleaded = $3.12, Diesel = $3.10

Price Two Years Ago:
Regular Unleaded = $3.24, Diesel = $3.21
