As many of us might already know the industry of gas and oil was always on the top, a “hot topic” drivers used to always talk about. Gas prices are on the bottom now and we can afford maintaining our gasoline cars, but these kind of situations always have some cover-ups we forget about. If we go back a bit in 2005, we would remember about the marginal well tax credit that was created by government, in order to protect small oil producers when times get tough for them, and looks like those times are already here! This tax credit is worth 25%, 50% or even 100% of the ...

Third-place BMW is down by 9.4 percent, and that doesn’t include the premium Mini brand’s 14.3 percent decline.At the same time American Honda and Nissan group registered the most significant sales growth in this period, which were of 14.4 percent and ...
This April is a good month for car sales, more than 1.5 million vehicles were sold, which is for 3.6% more than in 2015. Michelle Krebs a senior analyst said that any notions from March's disappointing car sales must get some rest and they must focus on some April records. Autodata Corp. put the industry on track to sell 17.4 million vehicles in 2016. Now that April is over, we can possibly say that it could be the best April ever for auto traders and auto makers. SUV's sales increased 7.9% comparing to last year, and pickup sales grew for 7%. Ford Explorer sales led t...
