Meanwhile China's manufacturing sector weakened again in June amid a credit crunch and slower U.S. and European orders, two surveys showed. The findings added to signs that growth in the world's second-largest economy is decelerating. U.S. drivers continue to pay less to fill up. The nationwide average for a gallon of gasoline fell below $3.50 a gallon for the first time since early February. At $3.49 a gallon, gas is about 12 cents cheaper on average than a year ago, although it still costs about 16 cents a gallon more than at this time last year. In other energy futures trading on Nymex: Natural gas rose 1 cent to finish at $3.58 per 1,000 cubic feet. Heating oil rose 1 cent to end at $2.87 per gallon. Wholesale gasoline added 2 cents to
finish at $2.74 per gallon.
