The global fuel energy price index stood at 157.89 index points in September 2025, up from 100 in the base year 2016. Figures decreased that month due to a fall in natural gas prices. The fuel energy index includes prices for crude oil, natural gas, coal, and propane. Supply constraints across multiple commodities The global natural gas price index surged nearly 11-fold, and the global coal price index rose almost seven-fold from summer 2020 to summer 2022. This notable escalation was largely attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, exerting increased pressure on the global supply chain. Tariffs bring economic uncertainty With the global economy having adjusted to the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, new uncertainty has emerged due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. If these tariffs are fully implemented, global trade could be significantly disrupted, mainly the bilateral trade between the world’s two largest economies. In 2025, import tariffs between China and the United States exceeded 130 percent on both sides, while their tariffs on imports from the rest of the world were around 10 percent. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imported goods reached a high of 134.7 percent in April of that year, while China imposed a 147.6 percent tariff on U.S. goods. Early estimates indicate that the impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs on the U.S. economy could amount to 0.4 percent of GDP, mainly driven by the reduced trade with Mexico, Canada and China.

On October 27, 2025, the Brent crude oil price stood at 65.14 U.S. dollars per barrel, compared to 61.31 U.S. dollars for WTI oil and 67.54 U.S. dollars for the OPEC basket. Oil prices rose slightly that week.Europe's Brent crude oil, the U.S. WTI crude oil, and OPEC's basket are three of the most important benchmarks used by traders as reference for global oil and gasoline prices. Lowest ever oil prices during coronavirus pandemic In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic resulted in crude oil prices hitting a major slump as oil demand drastically declined following lockdowns and travel restrictions. Initial outlooks and uncertainty surrounding the course of the pandemic brought about a disagreement between two of the largest oil producers, Russia and Saudi Arabia, in early March. Bilateral talks between global oil producers ended in agreement on April 13th, with promises to cut petroleum output and hopes rising that these might help stabilize the oil price in the coming weeks. However, with storage facilities and oil tankers quickly filling up, fears grew over where to store excess oil, leading to benchmark prices seeing record negative prices between April 20 and April 22, 2020. How crude oil prices are determined As with most commodities, crude oil prices are impacted by supply and demand, as well as inventories and market sentiment. However, as oil is most often traded in future contracts (where a contract is agreed upon while product delivery will follow in the next two to three months), market speculation is one of the principal determinants for oil prices. Traders make conclusions on how production output and consumer demand will likely develop over the coming months, leaving room for uncertainty. Spot prices differ from futures in so far as they reflect the current market price of a commodity.

Natural gas rose to 4.94 USD/MMBtu on December 3, 2025, up 2.04% from the previous day.

The US gasoline market is a significant sector within the global energy industry, shaped by various factors including consumer behavior, climate change, and technological advancements. Regular gasoline, a hydrocarbon mixture derived from crude oil, is the most commonly used fuel for standard internal combustion engines. It typically contains around 10% ethanol for octane enhancement, with an octane rating of 87 or 88. Higher-performance engines may require higher-octane fuels to prevent engine damage from knocking or pinging. The petroleum industry's refining process produces regular gasoline, which is distributed through an extensive pipeline infrastructure to retailers. Gasoline retailing involves marketing and selling the fuel to consumers, with prices influenced by factors such as crude oil prices, taxes, and regional variations.

Government regulations play a crucial role in the gasoline market, with emissions standards and fuel efficiency requirements driving innovation in fuel technology. Alternative fuels, such as ethanol blends, renewable fuels, and electric vehicles, are gaining popularity due to their environmental benefits and potential to reduce carbon emissions. Fuel efficiency standards, such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations, have led to advancements in engine performance and fuel economy. Fuel additives, including biofuel additives and octane enhancers, are used to improve fuel quality and performance. Geopolitical influences and fuel volatility can impact the gasoline market, with supply chain disruptions and price fluctuations affecting both domestic and international markets.

The energy sector's transition towards sustainable fuels and decarbonization is also shaping the future of the gasoline market. Regular gasoline remains widely available and affordable,
