The price of gas drops again!

The price of petroleum continues on a steady decline in Bedford-Stuyvesant, dropping 6 cents this week, from $3.79 per regular gallon of gas, down to $3.73.

On Sunday, October 3, oil companies announced a roll back in pump prices to reflect the decline in international product prices. So with oil companies reinforcing an already downward trend, it looks like lower gas prices may stick around a while longer than expected.

Companies, such as Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp., Petron Corp., Chevron and Seaoil said they will slash the price of gasoline by P1.20 per liter, diesel by P1 per liter and kerosene by P0.80 per liter, according to ABS-CBN News.
