Once the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has subsided (i.e., once herd immunity has been reached), overall spending on gasoline by consumers in the United States is expected to grow by about 25 percent. Many U.S. consumers also intend to spend more on out-of-home entertainment and at restaurants post-pandemic.
