Another  weekend has passed. It's Monday and time again to take a look across  the US of A and see how motorists are faring at the gas pumps. Reports  toward the end of last week and the weekend have suggeted that perhaps  gas prices may have peaked.

But is that the reality or wishful thinking?

From  taking a gander of gas prices, it would appear that for many locations  there has been little to no change. In some locations, there has been a  downturn of a few cents up to 10 cents less. Yet, there are those other  locations where prices rose by as much as 30 cents on the gallon.

To compare today's snapshot with last Monday's snapshot:

Once more we turn to the good folks at GasBuddy.com to get an idea what happened with gas costs over the past week. But  first a quote from GasBuddy, that I found in the Indianapolis Star.

Expect  upward and downward swings in gasoline prices throughout the rest of  spring, said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.

DeHaan  said gas prices would remain volatile during the next four to six weeks  as spot prices, the leading factor in retail gas prices, continue to  change wildly from region to region.
