GAINESVILLE, Ga. -

With gas prices falling at a rapid rate, there are a number of consequent trends popping up in the lanes. But perhaps one of the most dramatic turns last week was seen among the truck segments.

Though truck prices have been performing well throughout the year, the segments fell by an average of $94 last week.

This is according to the latest “Beggs on the Used Car Market” video report, during which Ricky Beggs — editorial director at Black Book— reported that this drop was the largest weekly decline within the car or truck segments over the past year.

Interestingly, even as gas prices lower, the large segments are not seeing the usual consequent equity bump.

For example, the full-size cargo and passenger vans dropped $32 and $38, respectively, after seeing increases over the past four weeks.

Beggs pointed out that the past two weeks have brought with them the greatest weekly decline in gas prices over the past year.

The national average now sits at $3.12 per gallon, with is below last year’s low point of $3.19 during the week ending Nov. 11. Current gas prices are 24 cents below where they were during the same period of last year, “and there are still expectations of continuing declining prices,” said Beggs.

How is this trend impacting the wholesale market?

Well, five more fuel-efficient car segments all have over 0.5-percent price declines this past week, said Beggs.

And overall, the car segments saw a decline of $77 last week.

“That is a pretty consistent overall car market,” said Beggs. “The luxury-oriented cars along with the full-size car segment had increased levels of change this past week as compared to two weeks ago.”
