GASOLINE PRICES COULD FALL AFTER LABOR DAY

Industry analysts predict that gasoline prices could drop to as low as $1.50 per gallon after Labor Day, after the busy summer driving season. The Press of Atlantic City reports that drivers have saved nearly $19 billion this year, due to the lowest summer gasoline rates since 2004. Three factors could cause prices to remain high: an increase in the gas tax, a major storm in the Gulf of Mexico, or changes in the international oil market.
