Hear from Upside’s principal research economist, Dr. Thomas Weinandy, on the global factors influencing U.S. fuel prices and the early signs of consumer behavior changes at the pump and in-store.
Fuel prices under global pressure
How supply disruptions and policy responses are tightening oil availability and why those shifts are already showing up in U.S. fuel prices.
Consumer behavior at the pump
Rising prices are changing purchase patterns, with drivers filling up more often, buying fewer gallons, and keeping in-store habits relatively steady.
Demand shifts as prices stay elevated
Why sustained fuel costs tend to move spending over time, and when those changes typically show up across other categories.
