The average price for regular gasoline in the United States stood at **** U.S. dollars per gallon on July 28, 2025. This compared to a diesel price of **** U.S. dollars per gallon. Prices for gasoline remained unchanged that week. Real price surge of 2022 and 2023 still below 2011 to 2014 prices When looking at the real price of gasoline over time, U.S. drivers had to pay notably more in the years between 2011 and 2014. The surge in prices noted throughout 2022 and partly for 2023, which followed supply constraints, was still lower in terms of real U.S. dollars. U.S. on the lower-end spectrum of worldwide motor fuel prices The U.S. has some of the lowest conventional motor fuel prices in the world. Although fuel prices are usually higher in high-income countries, the U.S. profits from its position as the world’s largest crude oil producer and can keep retail prices for oil products comparatively low. For example, among high-income countries, prices for automotive premium gasoline (RON 95) were only lower in Russia and Saudi Arabia - countries where crude oil and oil product exports are in part restricted by sanctions, thus keeping domestic supply high.

COVID-19 restrictions decimated the industry in 2020-21, bringing an end to a robust period of revenue growth for UK hotels thanks to a weak pound attracting international tourists and more Britons indulging in domestic retreats. Despite a strong tourism rebound, adverse economic conditions and elevated operating costs have constrained revenue and profit growth since 2022-23. Hotels’ revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 1.4% over the five years through 2024-25 to £24.1 billion, including an estimated 0.2% drop in 2024-25. Social distancing and lockdown measures resulted in hotels closing for a large chunk of 2020-21. Travel restrictions sunk international tourism, dissipating revenue, despite some support from staycations. Revenue surged in 2021-22 and 2022-23 due to the removal of COVID-19 restrictions and pent-up demand for holidaying, though it remained below pre-pandemic levels. The return of international tourists boosted recovery, while an increasing number of UK consumers opted for staycations. In 2023-24 and 2024-25, resilient tourism levels continue to support revenue. However, the lingering financial effects of the cost-of-living squeeze, poor weather and waning domestic demand are holding revenue down. Inbound tourism has continued to recover well in the two years through 2024-25, supporting revenue growth. The popularity of short-term rentals, including listings on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking, is luring consumers away from hotels. The digital revolution is transforming the industry's operations, with online travel agents allowing independent hotels to target a broader customer base but also imposing commissions. These competitive pressures, combined with higher operating costs amid severe inflationary pressures and labour shortages, has weighed on the average profit margin. Hotels’ revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 2.4% over the five years through 2029-30 to £27.2 billion. Growing tourism numbers, particularly international visitors, and improving confidence and disposable incomes will drive revenue growth. VisitBritain forecasts a record 43.4 million inbound visits to the UK in 2025. Platforms like Airbnb will continue to threaten hotels, though potential new regulations on short-term rentals may weaken this. Hotels will invest in technology and facilities to meet growing consumer preferences for unique experiences, wellness and sustainability. Severe staff shortages and tax hikes will continue to keep wage costs high, while intense competition will pressure prices, restricting profit growth.

Ethereum's price history suggests that that crypto was worth more in 2025 than during late 2021, although nowhere near the highest price recorded. Much like Bitcoin (BTC), the price of ETH went up in 2021 but for different reasons altogether: Ethereum, for instance, hit the news when a digital art piece was sold as the world's most expensive NFT for over 38,000 ETH - or 69.3 million U.S. dollars. Unlike Bitcoin, of which the price growth was fueled by the IPO of the U.S.'s biggest crypto trader, Coinbase, the rally on Ethereum came from technological developments that caused much excitement among traders. First, the so-called 'Berlin update' rolled out on the Ethereum network in April 2021, an update that would eventually lead to the Ethereum Merge in 2022 and reduced ETH gas prices - or reduced transaction fees. The collapse of FTX in late 2022, however, changed much for the cryptocurrency. As of July 22, 2025, Ethereum was worth 3,765.45 U.S. dollars - significantly less than the 4,400 U.S. dollars by the end of 2021.Ethereum's future and the DeFi industryPrice developments on Ethereum are difficult to predict but cannot be seen without the world of DeFi, or decentralized finance. This industry used technology to remove intermediaries between parties in a financial transaction. One example includes crypto wallets such as Coinbase Wallet that grew in popularity recently, with other examples including smart contractor Uniswap, Maker (responsible for stablecoin DAI), moneylender Dharma and market protocol Compound. Ethereum's future developments are tied with this industry: Unlike Bitcoin and Ripple, Ethereum is technically not a currency but an open-source software platform for blockchain applications, with Ether being the cryptocurrency that is used inside the Ethereum network. Essentially, Ethereum facilitates DeFi, meaning that if DeFi does well, so does Ethereum.NFTs: the most well-known application of EthereumNFTs or non-fungible tokens, grew nearly tenfold between 2018 and 2020, as can be seen in the market cap of NFTs worldwide. These digital blockchain assets can essentially function as a unique code connected to a digital file, allowing to distinguish the original file from any potential copies. This application is especially prominent in crypto art, although there are other applications: gaming, sports, and collectibles are other segments where NFT sales occur.
