Objective of this analysis Fuel figure as an essential good for most Americans who go shopping at Walmart Store. At an average price of $2.15 per gallon last year, the average American forked about 1,400 dollars to fill up their tank. Walmart is not a high-end store; the average consumer is from poor social class to the average social class. For those two social classes, the marginal variation of fuel price will have a higher impact on consumer budget capacity while in consumer behaviour than the marginal impact on the rich social class. This last assumption justifies our research question. The results of our research if it is negative or positive will be important information to know, in case of the impact of fuel price variation on Walmart consumer behaviour, the fuel price could be added to the forecast procurement models. In a growth strategy planning, this kind of information can be relevant for the members of the decisional circles.
