Gasoline is one of the major fuels used in the United States and is the main product U.S. oil refinences produce. We depend on fuel just about as much as the human body depends on food for strength. If we did not have gasoline available to us, it could lead to major war. U.S. driverss account for 44% of the worlds gas consumption. As high as gas prices have recently been, they have actually fallen in the past week 11,4 cents per gallon, averaging gas to be around $3.83 per gallon. gas prices are 37.4 cents per gallon higher than a year gap. In Septmeber, 2018, gas prices were around $2.78 per gallon. Oil refinery challenges are the reason for the rise in cost. As a semi-new driver myself, I now must pay attention to the cost of gasoline. Gas prices are contantly changing from week to week. sometimes by a penny other weeks more. I understand how important gas is not only for vehicles but for other things as well in our everyday lives! its definitely a pain having to pay your own gas. Somedays I feel like that is all I am spending money on but i love being able to drive an that is a luxury I am willing to pay for. I hope the cost continues to go down.
