As autumn settles, small business owners in the country can be welcomed by gas prices, which can reflect the market changes that can help profit. According to recent data, the national average of general gas gallons has fallen to $ 3.15, down 5 cents from last week, down from $ 3.21 year -over -year. As soon as autumn arrives, winter blend gasoline (cheaper to produce) begins to reach the market, providing additional financial talents to small companies that depend on transportation and fuel costs.
In an environment where all cents are calculated, the latest trends in gas prices provide both opportunities and challenges. The US Energy Intelligence Agency (EIA) has increased the demand for gasoline, increasing from 88.8 million barrels to 89.5 million barrels over the past week. However, the domestic gasoline supply has been strengthened, decreasing from 227.6 million barrels to 266 million barrels. Such fluctuations can affect the cost of operating costs, especially shipping services or shipping.
The AAA gas price report says, “Today’s national average: $ 3.157”. «A week ago: $ 3.203.» This fall trend is especially noteworthy as a small business in services, sleeves and logistics sectors, which usually feel pinpointed when fuel prices rise. Due to the drop in fuel prices, transportation costs can be reduced, allowing small businesses to allocate resources to other important areas such as marketing or hiring.
However, the current gas price offers slogans, but certain market epidemiology is attracting attention. For example, according to the report, the Atlantic Hurricane season is still concerned about the middle. Gulf’s storm activity can interfere with the operation of refiners, which can affect fuel availability and price. Small business owners must plan this potential confusion and, in particular, if the logistics relies heavily on fuel availability, it is necessary to plan accordingly.
«At the end of the official trading session on Wednesday, the WTI rose $ 1.58 and settled for $ 64.99 a barrel,» the report added. If the inventory level falls further, the increase in crude oil prices can fall to the gas price. Currently, crude oil inventory in the United States shows an unstable balance of less than 4% on average during this period.
For small companies considering the electric vehicle (EV) market, the national average per kilowatt to charge the public EV is stable with 36 cents. Investing in electric vehicles can especially offset the dependence on gasoline, especially as consumers are tilting more tilting on eco -friendly transportation options. However, in the same state as Alaska, the volatility of the billing cost, including 51 cents per kilowatt, and low rates of Kansas, can be carefully evaluated.
Watching local changes in gas prices can be important for business owners, especially those with multi -state. The AAA report has the highest gas prices, including California, including California, compared to the minimum $ 2.68 of Mississippi. Such imbalances can greatly affect the operating costs, and business concentration or strategy will change depending on the location.
