Probably not the ones you're thinking of…

Higher Gas Prices Create New Investing Opportunities When the United States was hit with an oil embargo in the 1970s, it resulted in supply shortages, long lines at the pumps, and gas prices nearly doubling. But being more than just an inconvenience, this sparked something big — a change in consumer behavior. People wanted to avoid those long lines at gas stations and save money by filling up less, so they sought "smaller" cars — the ones promoted as being more fuel efficient. Some automakers already had vehicles in place to capture this demand… like Ford Motor Co. (F) did… with its Maverick.

Sure. It's not as bad as last summer — an average gallon of gas cost $4.92 in June 2022 — but prices are starting to creep back up. And just like in the 1970s, a shift in consumer behavior is happening today — the shift to electric vehicles (EV). The share of electric cars in total sales more than tripled in three years, from roughly 4% in 2020 to 14% in 2022. In part, that shift can be attributed to the cost of owning an EV over the long term compared to a traditional car. While still considering a few caveats (incentives, regional electricity costs, and whether you charge an EV at home), the average EV owner could save between $6,000 to $10,000 over the lifetime of a vehicle, according to a 2020 Consumer Reports study. And in the EV word, much like with the Ford Maverick and the Dodge Omni 024, there will be winners and wannabes.
