"U.S. retail gas prices dip to lowest level in year" Bloomberg News 10:49 a.m. CST, December 18, 2012 "Retail gasoline prices have fallen to the lowest level in a year as refineries restored production and stockpiles rose to an eight-month high, blunting criticism of President Barack Obama's energy policies. "Regular gasoline dropped 9.5 cents, or 2.8 percent from a week earlier, to $3.254 a gallon Monday, the lowest since Dec. 19, 2011, according to data posted on the Energy Department's website. Crude prices, by comparison, were up 1.9 percent in the same week in New York.
