With global oil inventories continuing to trend toward historically tight levels, markets remain extremely sensitive to geopolitical developments and potential supply disruptions. As a result, gasoline and diesel prices are likely to remain volatile, and with Memorial Day approaching, any sustained increase in oil prices could begin pushing retail fuel prices higher again in the weeks ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>How to find cheap gas near you<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p><b>There\u2019s an app to help:<\/b> The GasBuddy app was built to show motorists prices around them and a fuel tracker can update users on stations that have or don\u2019t have fuel based on supply changes.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=610\">A developer financed a film on what ails Miami.
