fuel prices
What drivers dread
Fuel prices are the costs of petroleum products like gasoline and diesel, typically measured per gallon or liter.
The phrase usually refers to retail prices at gas stations, which fluctuate based on crude oil markets, refining costs, taxes, and geopolitics.
Fuel prices function as an economic indicator and political flashpoint: Voters blame the administration when fuel prices spike.
