| This year is set to be another volatile one for gasoline, with higher pump prices likely in the next several weeks. The average U.S. price for regular gasoline fell in 2013 from the year before, and experts predict that prices are likely to fall again this year. Reasons given for the decline include less demand because of greater vehicle efficiency, a behavioral change in the U.S. consumer, and a revival in U.S. crude production, with output now at a 25-year high and still climbing. Prices are likely to climb in coming weeks because of the refinery maintenance period that cuts production. | |||||||
