Wholesale Gasoline $3.06-35/100, down 5.89¢ per gallon

Retail gasoline prices tend to be at a $0.75 to $1.25/gallon premium to the wholesale gasoline price as traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange, which would mean that a wholesale price of $3.06/gallon would indicate a retail price of $3.81 to $4.31/gallon, depending on where in the U.S. the retail pump might be located.
News 12 ran a report the other day and they estimated that gas prices will go down by about .50 by the beginning of June. Well if so, at least it's a start.
