Teens and the price of a gallon of gas
How many drive to school?
How many drive as a pastime?
How many care about fuel efficiency?
How many ride the bus or ride a bike?
How many drive in a fuel conserving manner?
How many could tell you the price of a gallon of gas?

The marginal barrel of oil sold
• Does not matter where or by whom
• There is no use thinking nationalistically

Retail gas purchases determined by…
• Supply arrangements and ownership structure– Oil company owned and operated (<2%)– Refining company owned and operated (<3%)– Branded independent (45%)– Unbranded independent (51%)
• Competition for consumers– Traffic patterns (one third will go out of their way
to save just 3 cents per gallon)
![Page 33: GAS PRICES, BROCCOLI AND DOUGHNUTS ECNS 594 Montana Council on Economic Education June 20, 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b5631550346ae7a8b5549/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Other regional influences…
• Taxes• Location to refineries (jobbers buy at rack)• Fuel blend requirements• Rent (usually not downtown)• Replacement cost pricing (average retailers
take several deliveries per week)• Brand (market support, discounts, “market
inversion”

The world consumes 80 million barrels of oil per day…….
• World events determine world prices which determine local prices
• Political unrest• Growth in Asia• OPEC• Hurricanes• Refineries (conversion to ethanol additive)

• Nominal v. real prices
• Gas complementary good to autos
• Price elasticity of demand

Designing Policy:doughnuts to broccoli
• External costs are related to fuel use AND miles driven
• How can we change behavior, without sacrificing equity?
