In 2021, retail sales of gasoline stations reached 1,706 U.S. dollars per capita in the United States. Compared to the value registered a year earlier, gasoline station per capita sales in 2021 greatly increased. The increase was likely due to the normalization following the sudden reduction in mobility following the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The United States is a country that runs predominantly on cars, and as such, there is a robust industry of gas stations selling fuel for motor vehicles. In 2022, retail sales of gas stations in the North American country had surpassed over 700 billion U.S. dollars.
