An investigation into the rise of gas price an it’s impact on commuters.

1
 OBJECTIVES
 To monitor and analyze trends in fuel prices.
 To meet oil and gas demands in a less cost-effective way.
 How it affects the people in the in the community

 BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW
The demand for gas price has been increasing over the past few
years. Population has grown incredibly large. This has caused inflation
on this product, so there will be less supply.

The price has raised $40 over two weeks. Petrol stations owned
by private business have balanced prices and some have dropped.

This topic was taken into consideration so as to observe,

ascertain and handle the impact of gas prices on the standard of living.

The researcher will have to compensate more money for

transportation fees.

If gas price continues to rise, there will be fewer goods and

supplies for the economy and the market.

This research is proven to be beneficial because, when the prices

of gas reduces, the citizens of the country works harder and boost
productivity. There will also be an increase in investment which leads to
higher capital stock and an increase in economic growth.

Better services will be provided for the communities.

 CONCLUSION
Gas price can sometimes mold the economy and its growth. In the survey, it
was stated that taxes are considered to be the most effective cause of rise in gas
price. This has even caused the transportation fees to rise unintentionally. If this
continues to happen for the years to come, infrastructure will begin to fall and
counties might collapse in terms of business, health and finance.

 RECOMMENDATION
 Government should lower the tax rate in the country.
 Invite foreign companies to invest in the country
 Transportation fees should be lowered if gas price drop
