Gas price sign at Linwood Gulf, in Linwood, NJ, April 20, 2012. Pump prices rose relentlessly from January through April, pushing average gas prices above $3.90 a gallon and taxing families' budgets. Some forecasters expected a $5 peak by the time families got on the road for summer vacation. But prices are expected to drop by 10 cents by next week, thanks to a recent drop in oil and wholesale gas prices and frugality at the pump. (AP Photo/Vernon Ogrodnek, Press of Atlantic City)
