Gas prices by region and the U.S. weekly average
Current U.S. gas prices from the EIA weekly survey: the national average gas price, regional prices and the recent trend.
This board tracks the EIA weekly U.S. retail price for regular gasoline.
Gasoline affects operating costs for last-mile vans and service fleets. Compare it with diesel to see how road-fuel prices are moving.
Prices are survey averages by region, not quotes for a specific station. For station-level prices, use a retail fuel finder; use this page to compare weekly fuel-price trends.
Common questions
What is the average gas price in the U.S. right now?
The board above shows the latest weekly U.S. average for regular gasoline from the EIA survey, with the survey week printed next to the price.
Why do gas prices differ so much by state?
State fuel taxes, regional fuel blends, distribution distance and local competition all move the pump price. The regional rows above show how wide the spread is in the current survey week.
How often do these numbers update?
The EIA publishes the weekly gasoline figures at about 10:00 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, except on government holidays when publication moves to Wednesday. The prices still represent the Monday survey. This page picks up the new week automatically.
