NEW YORK -- Oil futures retreated further from their record levels above $100 a barrel Friday after the government reported lower-than-expected job growth in December, adding to fears of a recession that could crimp demand for oil, according to the Associated Press. Gas prices, meanwhile, rose 2.2 cents a gallon overnight, following crude's recent rally. Light, sweet crude for February delivery fell $1.57 to $97.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange Friday. Gas prices, meanwhile, jumped overnight to a national average of $3.074 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.
