The price of a gallon of regular gasoline in Geneva held steady this week, continuing we talked about on July 5.

After the volatility of previous weeks—increasing through May and decreasing through June—we're looking at a big fat "ditto" for Monday, July 11.

Every single price is the same at all seven Geneva stations on the Gas Gauge list.

Which means the price of oil will go up ... and you can follow that trickle down until we get to the price of gas in Geneva, which surely will follow an upward trend, right?
