ADVISORY/Experts Available to Comment on Gas Prices, Oil Market.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2001 TOPIC: Analysts say that reduced travel has caused gasoline prices to fall an average of 9-cents a gallon over the past two weeks. A story by the Associated Press says that the decreased demand since Sept. 11 in everything from auto gas to jet fuel has spurred the price drop and could continue to effect the overall world oil and gas markets. The story reports that the average retail price of gasoline, including all grades and taxes, was about $1.34 a gallon on Friday, according to the two-week Lundberg Survey of nearly 8,000 gas stations nationwide -- a 22-cent drop since Sept 7 and a 27-cent drop over this time last year.
