Time Series Analysis for Fuel Cost Projection

Fuel costs fluctuate based on geopolitical events, refinery capacity, and seasonal demand patterns that repeat with some predictability. Forecasting future fuel prices from historical data lets you estimate the true operating cost of a vehicle over five or ten years, not just the sticker price—a calculation that often changes which car actually makes financial sense.
