Gas prices are holding steady as slight fluctuations occur nationwide. The national cost of gas currently stands at $3.13, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 52 cents.

As half the states see slight decreases, the other half mirrors this change with declines, according to GasBuddy’s Head of Petroleum Analysis, Patrick De Haan.

“Oil prices, which had fallen into the $50 per barrel range at the height of Trump’s trade war, have since rallied and are now holding in the low $60s, leading to rising gas prices in some states,” De Haan said.

Prices are expected to bounce around the $3.10 to $3.20 per gallon range in the coming week. "The market appears to be in a holding pattern,” De Haan said.

U.S. Regional Gasoline Prices as of Apr. 21, 2025

Gas prices continue to dip for a second week, with prices falling in most U.S. states. The national average cost of gas currently stands at $3.14, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data.

However, some states have seen some increases due to localized price cycling. According to De Haan, oil prices have been rallying over the past week, so we may start to see the downward trend in gas prices begin to stall.

“So far, 2025 has been relatively calm at the pump for most Americans, thanks in part to OPEC’s ongoing restoration of oil production and continued uncertainty surrounding tariff policy and its potential impact on the global economy,” De Hann said.

Most notably, prices year-over-year are down by 52 cents, showing Americans are currently spending over $200 million less per day on gasoline compared to this time last year.

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of Apr. 21:

• East Coast: $2.98

• Midwest: $3.00

• Gulf Coast: $2.68

• West Coast: $4.22

Most regions experienced a decline within the past week. However, the Rocky Mountains showed the largest incline of about 3 cents, while the Gulf Coast showed the most significant decline at 6 cents.

Currently, 21 states have a $2.99 or lower average for a gallon of gas. No change from last week.

U.S. Regional Gasoline Prices as of Apr. 14, 2025

Gas prices see a drop for the first time in a month, offering a reprieve from previous uncertainties and spikes. The national average cost of gas currently stands at $3.16, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 46 cents.

Gas prices are expected to continue trending lower, mainly due to oil’s drop over the past few weeks. According to De Haan, this was driven by “concerns over the impact of U.S. tariffs and OPEC+ restoring production faster than expected.”

Although abrupt changes in the tariff situation could impact the decline’s movement, fuel prices typically peak around April 10, so the worst may be over for 2025.

“As refiners near the end of seasonal maintenance and supply begins to rise — and with the changeover to summer gasoline nearly complete — it’s increasingly likely that gas prices have already hit their high for the year,” De Haan said.

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of Apr. 14:

• East Coast: $3.01

• Midwest: $3.00

• Gulf Coast: $2.74

• Rocky Mountain: $3.09

• West Coast: $4.26

All regions experienced a decline within the past week. Most notably, the Midwest and Gulf Coast saw a decrease of around 10 cents.

Here’s a look at the top 10 cheapest states to buy gas, according to AAA data:

Mississippi continues to hold the top spot for the lowest price for a gallon of gas. Meanwhile, Kansas was pushed off the list to make room for New Hampshire.

Currently, 21 states have a $2.99 or lower average for a gallon of gas, an increase of six states from the previous week.

U.S. Regional Gasoline Prices as of Apr. 7, 2025

Gas prices have continued upward for three weeks and have made their largest weekly gain of the year. The national average cost of gas currently stands at $3.24, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 34 cents.

However, the spike likely won’t last long. According to De Haan, “Oil prices have plummeted amid growing concerns about the global economy following the U.S. announcement of some of the most significant tariffs in over a century, along with OPEC+ restoring oil production faster than anticipated.”

“In addition to falling oil prices, the stock market has dropped sharply, and the risk of a recession has increased — raising the likelihood of reduced global energy and oil demand, which is sending prices lower,” De Haan said.

Fleets and motorists can expect gas prices to fall nearly coast-to-coast, with oil at its lowest level since the early days of the pandemic in 2021.

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of Apr. 7:

• East Coast: $3.07

• Midwest: $3.10

• Gulf Coast: $2.84

• Rocky Mountain: $3.16

• West Coast: $4.32

All regions experienced an incline within the past week. Most notably, the West Coast saw an increase of about 14 cents, and the Gulf Coast saw a rise of 11 cents.

Here’s a look at the top 10 cheapest states to buy gas, according to AAA data:

Mississippi continues to hold the top spot for the lowest price for a gallon of gas, while Oklahoma and Louisiana continue battling for the number two spot.

Currently, 15 states have a $2.99 or lower average for a gallon of gas, a decrease from the beginning of the month.

U.S. Regional Gasoline Prices as of Mar. 31-Apr. 1, 2025

Gas prices continue rising for the second week as we enter April and are projected to continue increasing due to refinery issues on the West Coast. The national average cost of gas currently stands at $3.16, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 35 cents.

Gas prices will likely jump 10-35 cents over the next few weeks, Haan said, due to renewed refinery issues. Meanwhile, motorists and fleets in the Northeast should consider filling up soon, as the final step in the transition to summer gasoline is just a couple of weeks away, which likely means price increases.

"As we head into April, Americans should expect gas prices to rise, with a peak that could occur in mid-to-late April. While average prices remain well below last year’s levels, we’ll likely begin to catch up, with prices expected to increase in most states over the next few weeks,” De Haan said.

Additional tariffs set to be implemented later this week could also impact prices at the pump, though the severity is uncertain.

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of Mar. 31-Apr. 1:

• East Coast: $2.99

• Midwest: $3.07

• Gulf Coast: $2.74

• Rocky Mountain: $3.11

• West Coast: $4.18

Almost all regions experienced an incline within the past week except for the Gulf Coast. The Rocky Mountains saw an increase of about 7 cents, while the West Coast saw a rise of 12 cents.

Here’s a look at the top 10 cheapest states to buy gas, according to AAA data:

Mississippi continues to hold the top spot for the lowest price for a gallon of gas, while Louisiana pushes Kentucky and Oklahoma out of the second-place running.

Currently, 17 states have a $2.99 or lower average for a gallon of gas, a steep decrease compared to last month.
