“Weakness in the oil market has contributed to the recent drop in gas prices,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a release. “That weakness has been driven by domestic economic concerns. Underwhelming Chinese economic indicators have also created uncertainty about global fuel demand. With continued volatility in the fuel market, it’s unclear whether this downward trend will continue in the lead-up to the busy Memorial Day travel weekend.”
