During the past couple months fuel prices across the country have been dropping at a significant rate, bringing smiles to business owners across the country.
According to a report by Time Inc, the price drop, which has brought the average price of U.S. regular unleaded down to $2.72 a gallon and $3.53 for diesel, is the result of several factors:
- Higher production from North American sources
- A drop in consumer demand for gas and diesel
- The U.S. dollar is getting stronger
Combine those elements and it bodes well for those who spend more time on the road than in the office.
