Marketwatch reports that consumers are spending their savings from lower gas prices on more gas. Plunging prices encourage Americans to drive more often and buy more trucks. At the same time, faster economic growth and an increase hiring over the past year means more Americans are taking part in the daily commute. The result is higher demand for gasoline. |
