“The recent surge in oil costs took a break last week, with the price of oil tumbling back into the upper $70s per barrel,” said Patti Artessa, AAA Northeast Regional Director of Public and Government Affairs. “If this oil price trend continues, drivers may see falling gas prices sooner rather than later.”
