U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of April 27, 2026

According to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country, the national average for fuel has risen 7.0 cents over the last week and stands at $4.04 per gallon.

This is up 5.7 cents per gallon from a month ago and 94.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

“Average gasoline prices rose in 39 states over the last week, with the national average moving higher, while diesel prices declined in most states, offering a brief divergence at the pump,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “However, that divergence may prove short-lived. Oil prices have been climbing again as markets react to renewed geopolitical tensions and the cancellation of talks between the U.S. and Iran. As a result, gasoline prices are set to rise further this week, with diesel expected to follow. Many inland states—including those in the Great Lakes and Plains—could see average gas prices climb to their highest levels since 2022, while price-cycling markets may also experience another round of hikes in the next few days.”

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of April 27:

• East Coast: $3.96

• Midwest: $3.88

• Gulf Coast: $3.68

• Rocky Mountain: $4.02

• West Coast: $5.41

U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of April 20, 2026

According to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country, the national average for fuel has fallen 9.4 cents over the last week and stands at $3.97 per gallon.

This is up 3.9 cents per gallon from a month ago and 87.4 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

“Average gasoline prices declined in 48 states over the last week, while diesel prices fell in 46 states, offering a welcome break at pumps, with the national average price of gasoline dipping below the $4 per gallon mark over the weekend,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “However, that relief may prove fleeting. Oil prices surged in Sunday night trading after Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz and President Trump signaled further escalation if Tehran does not come to an agreement. With global oil flows remaining at risk, renewed volatility is taking hold, and the continued back-and-forth is making any lasting resolution increasingly fragile. As a result, gasoline prices are likely to rise again in the days ahead, with diesel expected to follow if disruptions persist, and many of the states that exhibit price cycling could see increases in the next 24-48 hours.”

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of April 20:

• East Coast: $3.89

• Midwest: $3.79

• Gulf Coast: $3.74

• Rocky Mountain: $3.94

• West Coast: $5.32

U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of April 13, 2026

According to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country, the national average for fuel has remained unchanged over the last week at $4.07 per gallon.

This is up 39.1 cents per gallon from a month ago and 93.4 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

“Average gasoline prices surged for many Americans through the first half of last week before easing in some areas after oil prices slipped following President Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “However, with a breakdown in talks and renewed escalation over the weekend, motorists should prepare for another round of price increases. The move toward a full blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is compounding global supply concerns and risks further disrupting flows, which pushed oil prices sharply higher in Sunday night trading. As a result, gasoline prices are likely to jump again this week, with diesel expected to follow, until there is a meaningful restoration of shipping through the Strait.”

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of April 13:

• East Coast: $3.95

• Midwest: $3.89

• Gulf Coast: $3.74

• Rocky Mountain: $3.90

• West Coast: $5.38

U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of April 6, 2026

According to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country, the national average for fuel has risen by 11.8 cents over the last week to $4.08 per gallon.

This is up $65.1 cents from a month ago and $85.0 cents lower per gallon higher than a year ago.

“Gasoline prices are poised for another jolt this week, with many inland states — including the Plains, Great Lakes, and parts of the Rockies — likely to see sharp increases as last week’s surge in wholesale costs has yet to be fully passed through to consumers,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “In addition, some price-cycling markets could also see another round of increases. As a result, the national average could rise by double digits, potentially reaching the $4.20 to $4.35 per gallon range in the days ahead. Diesel prices continue to climb and now sit just 25 cents away from a new all-time record. Recent escalations between the U.S. and Iran have further intensified concerns about prolonged disruptions to global oil flows, keeping markets on edge. At this point, the trajectory of fuel prices remains highly uncertain and is largely contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Until that occurs, the risk of further increases remains firmly in place.”
