Oil prices climb past $69 a barrel again
Crude oil futures moved back past the $69-a-barrel level Friday with a 49-cent increase to close out the week at $69.14.

That gave oil a 60-cent hike for the week amid concerns over the Nigerian labor strike that investors feared would affect the country's oil production.

Natural gas fell 21.8 cents to close at $7.13 per million British thermal units.

Reformulated gas was up $4.01 cents to $2.2868 a gallon and Heating oil rose 1.33 to $2.038 a gallon.

At the pump, regular unleaded gasoline was selling at an average of $2.991 a gallon, compared to $2.996 on Thursday.
