Gas Price Chart 2014According 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.
