For the first time in two months, crude oil prices have fallen below $100 a barrel.

The price of West Texas Intermediate crude tumbled as much as 10% Tuesday, to hit a low of $97.43 before closing at $99.50, down 8% on the day. 

Experts say the drop reflects investors' growing concerns about a US recession that could crimp demand for oil.

Gas prices are also down a bit. According to AAA, the average cost of a gallon of gas at the pump in New York is now $4.88, whereas it was $4.94 last week. A year ago it was $3.18.
