Thursday's decline is the fifth consecutive day that retail gas prices have fallen. Prices have fallen more than 45.4 cents since hitting a record of $4.114 on July 17, AAA reported.

	Instead of reporting ups/downs of retail gas prices; report the ups/downs of the profit margins of each segement of the oil service/distribution chain!

	Oooh 7/10 of a cent. That means nothing to me. I agree with everyone below who said theirs went up for the weekend. No doubt. A big "travel" weekend. I am going to "travel" to the supermarket and get brats and ribs.

	CNN must have forgotten Labor Day Weekend is one of the times that almost all stations everywhere raise their prices to gouge the consumer. And they will use any excuse such as a "possible" hurricane, and even congress passing gas in the wind after a bean dip holiday.
