  3. Average, on-peak (weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.) day-ahead electricity prices were lower across the entire United States in 2012 compared to 2011. In wholesale electric regions where prices declined in both 2011 and 2012, the drops in 2012 were generally larger. Lower natural gas prices in 2012 and generally mild temperatures contributed to the 2012 declines in on-peak power prices. Read more:
  4. U.S. retail gasoline prices are expected to decline over the next two years. The average pump price for regular unleaded gasoline was $3.63 a gallon during 2012. That is expected to fall to $3.44 this year and then drop to $3.34 in 2014, ac...cording to EIA's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook.

    Expected lower crude oil prices, which accounted for about 66% of the price for gasoline during 2012, will contribute to savings for consumers at the pump.

    At the same time, U.S. gasoline demand is expected to change little over the next two years as Americans buy more fuel-efficient vehicles and older gas guzzlers are retired. Read more: http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/steo/

  5. EIA’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) includes forecasts for 2014. U.S. crude oil production is expected to keep rising over the next two years. America’s oil output will jump nearly 900,000 barrels per day in 2013 to an average 7.3... million barrels a day.
    This would mark the biggest one-year increase in output since U.S. commercial crude oil production began in 1859.

    U.S. daily oil production is expected to rise by another 600,000 barrels in 2014 to nearly 8 million barrels a day, the highest level since 1988.

    Also, for the first time the STEO includes assumptions about the U.S. economy and its impact on energy markets. Read more: http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/steo/

  6. Ever wonder why gasoline prices vary from one place to another? Even within a few miles? To repeat an old adage, it’s location, location, location. Many general and specific factors affect what a fueling station charges for gasoline. Learn more: http://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/index.cfm?page=gasoline_factors_affecting_prices
