Gas Prices Are Dipping Down, But The Trend Might Not Last Long

Gas prices are slowly slipping down thanks to a drop in oil prices, but experts warn the relief may be temporary.

After seeing gasoline prices spike over the last three months to a national average of $5 a gallon, there is a welcome dip at the pumps.

The Wall Street Journal reports prices have fallen for 24 consecutive days, and AAA says the national average is now $4.72.

"The primary reason is that within the last two weeks, we have seen demand going down with folks not filling up as much as they used to, you know, within the prior weeks before," Montrae Waiters, AAA spokesperson, said.
