However, there is still volatility in the market, and pump prices could move higher if OPEC decides against easing production cuts&nbsp;at a meeting later this month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saudi Arabia increased production last month by 100,000 barrels a day, after curtailing output by nearly two years. The Kingdom was part of an agreement with other OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers to reduce output in hopes of raising oil prices. The production cut worked; the oil market tightened&nbsp;and crude&nbsp;prices reached near 4-year highs.<\/p>\n<p>[320left]However, there are growing concerns&nbsp;that strong demand would soon outpace supplies, and economies will suffer as a result of the higher prices. Because of this, the participants in this agreement are set to reconvene on June 22 to discuss increasing output.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>U.S. crude prices settled at $65.74 per barrel on Friday &#8211; a 7 cent decline from the week before, and $6.50 less than this year&#8217;s high.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Gas Price Tools<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\"
