- Abstract
The article provides information on lessening volatile U.S. gasoline prices and internalizing external costs. It is stated that the use of petroleum-based vehicle fuels accounts for approximately 70 percent of U.S. petroleum demand. It is implied that this demand causes uncertainty in the gasoline prices. The fuel-price volatility is predicted to continue with a higher probability of increases above rather than decreases below the expected mean. It is inferred that this notion can illustrate a win-win fuel portfolio.
