Petro Patrol

When it comes to petroleum gas, if there's one thing patrons at the pump can be certain of, it's the uncertainty of the prices.

After a six-week downward trend beginning at the end of the summer, gas prices suddenly spiked upward last week. Now, they're back back down to where they were the before the spike-- and a little lower.

The price of regular gas this week is down 6 cents from the previous week, from $3.73 to $3.67-- a two cent decrease from the two weeks prior, when the price was $3.69.

The lowest gas prices in the Bed-Stuy area can be found at the GP Petro station on 1990 Atlantic Ave & Ralph Ave ($3.59/regular gallon) and the Speedy Mart at 1781 Atlantic Ave & Rochester Ave ($3.61/regular gallon).
