The purpose of this paper is to forecast monthly gasoline prices in Jordan by applying Gaussian process regression on monthly prices of two types of gasoline (octane-90 and octane-95) during the period January 2008–December 2019. Accurately predicting gasoline prices have several fiscal policy implications concerning fuel subsidies and taxes. Also, they affect the consumption and the production of decisions. Moreover, they are crucial for designing and analyzing environmental policies.
