Playing the oil prices money game

Gas prices are making new highs for this time of the year in the US and it is putting pressure on an already weak economy. Gas prices averaged over 3.96 a gallon this month and consumers may be wondering when, if ever, they will get a break. Thankfully crude oil futures recently fell back near $100 a barrel after jumping far past $100 last month. Although domestic demand for oil has fallen since the surge in oil this year, the fall in crude has not yet made its way to the pump.
