Oil industry analyst says summer prices could stay under $4 per gallon
The steady rise in gasoline prices during the last seven months may finally be slowing to a halt, one analyst said Monday. The cost of a gallon of gas has increased steadily since October, but may have reached its peak, said Ben Brockwell, an oil industry analyst with the Oil Price Information Service – an oil industry news service based on Route 138 in Wall. Current prices at the pump could be what drivers will pay later this summer, Brockwell said. “My personal view is that I think prices have peaked for the summer, but they’re not going to drop very much,” Brockwell said. “But there are a lot of people that disagree with me.” The national average for a gallon of regular gas is $3.96, according to the Automobile Association of Amerca. …

Wall Street speculation is among the leading reasons that gas prices have been on a steady increase for the last six months, said Ben Brockwell, an oil industry analyst with the Oil Price Information Service – an oil industry news service based on Route 138. “This is not a demand-driven rally (of increased prices),’’ said Brockwell, the oil news service' director of pricing. “There’s a lot of Wall Street money intrigued by oil as an investment vehicle to make a profit.’’ Nationally, the average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.83…
