As I said, if gas prices are low it's likely that the economy is doing poorly as well - that may impact your bottom line as well.
Not likely. My employer depends on high prices for gold. Not oil. High fuel costs translate to higher costs for transportation of personnel and equipment.
For us, high fuel prices are a negative.
I think you're being far to narrowly focused. You and your employer don't live in a vacuum. If the economy is in the tank so may your business be.
Don't think so. When the global economy tanked in 2008, no one here really noticed. If we did not watch the news, we would have had no idea anything was amiss. No layoffs, yearly raises came as expected, etc.
Business as usual, for the most part.
