Despite the increase, Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan said he still expects prices to come down—slightly.
"As we push deeper into September, the more optimistic I am that these high prices will begin to come down slightly," DeHaan said, "but with the recently announced QE3, I'm a bit concerned that prices won't moderate as much as previously expected as the dollar weakens, leading me to believe 2012 will have featured the highest yearly average ever."
