Slow economic growth across the globe has curbed the oil rally and helped fuel prices move lower. According to the government, US manufacturing fell to its lowest level in six months. Consumer sentiment also decreased according to a Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan report.  

"The good news is gas prices are stable and there is nothing, at this moment, that shows signs of a spike in price,” said Jessica Brady, AAA spokesperson, The Auto Club Group. “Pump prices are likely to inch lower again this week.”
