"The national average has finally showed some signs of slowing down and gasoline prices in dozens of areas have virtually stabilized after rising for two to three consecutive weeks," said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com senior petroleum analyst.

"The rally in gasoline prices in March, we could have dubbed it March Madness, to coincide with the flurry of college basketball games, but as the tournament winds down, gasoline prices too have slowed their increase," said DeHaan.
