The price of gasoline, six weeks before Memorial Day is doing something practically unheard of this time of year: it's going down - not up!
In Michigan, where gas was $3.90 a gallon on Monday now costs $3.85.
In Chicago, where the cost was $4.67 a gallon at the end of March, it's now down to $4.33.
Nationally, prices are down from $3.97 a gallon to $3.93.
"There were people talking about $5 gasoline or $7 gasoline now it doesnt even look like we are going to hit the record high. It looks like prices may have peaked for the year," said Paul Flynn an Energy Analyst.
Some say the decline is thanks to an easing demand from a slowing global economy.Also an increased production from Saudi Arabia and an over-reaction from traders to strong rhetoric from Iran is a considerable factor.
"If we have successful talks with Iran this weekend the price of oil could go back to 80 dollars a barrel," said Flynn.
However, not everyone believes prices at the pump have peaked.
The economic crisis in Europe could send gas prices in the U.S. higher. There is also the chance for supply disruptions and Iran's rhetoric.
For now only time will tell how much longer drivers will feel the pain at the pump.
