Bloomberg.com -- By Mark Shenk

The Energy Department decreased its crude oil price forecast for 2010 on reduced projections of economic growth in the U.S., the world’s biggest oil consuming country.

West Texas Intermediate oil, the U.S. benchmark, will average $77.37 a barrel this year, down from last month’s forecast of $79.13,

Prices will climb 6 percent to average $82 a barrel in 2011, the report showed.

Regular gasoline, averaged nationwide, will cost $2.76 a gallon from April through September, according to the report from the EIA,

The department raised its outlook for global oil consumption this year to 85.95 million barrels a day from 85.91 million last month. That’s up 1.9 percent from last year’s 84.33 million. Demand will climb to 87.36 million in 2011, 60,000 barrels a day
