NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- A falling dollar Wednesday failed to prop up crude oil prices, which sank below $90 per barrel for the second time this week.

Crude oil prices lost $1.28 cents to $88.78 per barrel. Heating oil prices dropped 0.0057 cents to $2.50 per gallon. Reformulated blendstock gasoline fell 0.0394 cents to $2.023 per gallon. Natural gas prices fell 0.015 cents to $6.753 per million British thermal units.
