The
Effect of Gas Prices on the Economy
(1)The USA
consumes 400 million gallons of gasoline every day (present tense) .
This with the burgeoning demand from developing nations such as China for gas,
has pushed gas prices to record highs, and having an all-pervasive and
on-balance a damaging effect on the US economy.
Gas prices in the USA/Canada often vary
significantly between gas stations and supermarket gas
pumps. In many areas, ()gas prices can vary by 20-30 cents per gallon or maybe at times even more
within a small area. (2)This
makes that most motorists (present tense) in the (3)USA/Canada are shopping around to find the
best deals on gas (simple present continues), but are still paying a lot
more for it.
(4)High gas
prices make people stop and think about their commute.(present tense)
(5)This will affect the US
economy by reducing value of properties ( simple future) in outer commuting zones around the cities,
and depress rural property values.
(6)Analysts
were predicting a gallon (present continues) of regular to climb as
high as $4.50 a gallon in California by Easter 2011. (7)But these same analysts are saying that if you
think gasoline is expensive (present continues) now, just wait until
next year! A combination of growing global-demand and rising (8)U.S. fuel exports could send
gasoline prices to further (past tense) record highs in 2012, analysts
say.
The effects of such (9)big cost hikes will reduce available (simple future)
spending money for all those on
average wages and below (10)who
need to travel significant distances in their cars (present tense) , and (11)this will further depress (simple future ) the
US economy when (12)this
cash gets diverted away from a myriad (past tense) of local spending
decisions affecting local businesses from restaurants to children’s shoe shops.
(13)Cars now
are more fuel-efficient (present tense) than (14)they were in the 90s (past
tense), so car owners can reduce your spending on gas by choosing fuel
efficient vehicles. (15)This
is making US car manufacturers (simple present countinues) and car
importers develop and extend their low fuel vehicle ranges. But, US (16)car manufacturers have been
slower (simple perfect countinues) than others, such as the Japanese
marques, to develop some of the most innovatory fuel efficient vehicles such as
the hybrid engine vehicles. (17)This
will tend to raise car imports (present future) to the detriment of the
US economy until the US manufacturers catch-up.
(18)It is not
all bad news though (present continues). Companies that own
oilfield (19)reserves will be
seeing the value (simple present continues) of their resources growing,
and businesses that are connected with the renewable (20)energy market are growing(simple present continues) rapidly
right across the range of renewable energy sources from wind, to thermal
energy, and of course that most popular of renewable sources which is solar.
Renewable energy companies
are growing fast (simple present continues)
and employing increased numbers of staff.
