The national average for gas prices has been on the rise since February this year. Remember good old February, when gas was under $2 per gallon?

Though as of April 25th the national average is up to $2.14, we are still looking at a considerable downward trend since 2013, when costs per gallon peaked at just under $4. Prices seem to rise in spring and summer, and fall again in autumn.

These lower fuel costs have led to a dip in the demand for hybrid and electric vehicles. That means if you are in the market for a pre-owned hybrid, now is the time to find prices rivalling those of conventional gasoline equivalents.

Meanwhile, interest in pre-owned SUVs and crossovers is soaring. Recent model-year SUVs have much better fuel economy than generations past, and falling gas prices means that using a little more fuel is still worth the added space and luxury.
