Gasoline prices finally see a dip after a few weeks of increases, declining about 2 cents compared to a week ago due to surges on the West Coast calming. The national average cost of gas currently stands at $3.12, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 12 cents.

“While some areas are seeing increases, others are experiencing stability or even slight declines, as the bulk of the seasonal transition has yet to significantly impact gasoline prices,” GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan said.

Motorists and commercial fleets should take advantage of the slight decline while it lasts as we inch closer to the typical March madness. “While I don’t see an abrupt spike in the national average just yet, we’re likely to see upward movement in the weeks ahead,” De Haan said.

U.S. Regional Gasoline Prices as of Feb. 24, 2025

Fuel prices see slight decreases across the nation. Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of Feb. 24:

• East Coast: $3.01

• Midwest: $2.93

• Gulf Coast: $2.70

• Rocky Mountain: $3.01

• West Coast: $4.18

Almost all regions experienced a decline this week, except for the West Coast, which remained at $4.18 per gallon. The Midwest experienced the most significant dip, decreasing about 5 cents.

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

Kansas has been bumped off the list to make room for North Carolina, with the average price for a gallon of gas sitting at $2.82. Mississippi and Texas continue holding the top two spots for the cheapest states to buy gas.

Currently, 23 states have a $2.99 or lower average for a gallon of gas, an increase of 3 states compared to last week.

Gasoline prices continue to inch upward for the second week while prices surge on the West Coast. The national average cost of gas currently stands at $3.14, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 12 cents.

“The national average has inched higher, driven primarily by sharp gas price increases on the West Coast, where refinery maintenance and outages have created a ripple effect in neighboring states, pushing prices higher in many communities,” GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan said.

While most of the country has experienced a relatively quiet week for gas prices, the West Coast has seen rapid increases — a trend that should slow in the coming days.

“Although the surge remains isolated to the West for now, refinery maintenance will soon begin in other regions, and with the transition to summer gasoline blends underway, prices in most areas are likely to start rising in the weeks ahead,” De Haan continued.

U.S. Regional Gasoline Prices as of Feb. 10, 2025

Gas prices have increased for the second week of February following a slight decline. The national average cost of gas currently stands at $3.12, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 6 cents.

"While some states have seen gas prices inching up, much of the country continues to see mostly stable prices. States that experience price cycling have seen increases, while many others have only experienced minor fluctuations,” De Haan said.

With tariffs on Mexico and Canada on a 30-day pause, trade policy has yet to impact fuel prices directly. The direction of gas prices remains typical for this time of year as seasonal trends continue to drive normal fluctuations.

"However, refinery issues are creating localized disruptions, particularly on the West Coast, where a refinery fire and the transition to summer gasoline are pushing prices higher,” De Haan continued.

U.S. Regional Gasoline Prices as of Feb. 3, 2025

National gasoline prices are seeing a decline in the first week of February, but region-specific changes offer a mixed bag of predictions. The national average cost of gas currently stands at $3.08, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data.

Although prices year-over-year are down by 5 cents, they were up by 8 cents just last week.

“The national average has seen little meaningful change over the past week, as oil markets continue to face selling pressure,” GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan said. Tariffs imposed by President Trump on Canada and Mexico, with reports noting a pause for the two countries but not on China, could cause gas prices to inch up in certain regions.

“While, on paper, tariffs on Canadian energy could have a significant impact on fuel prices, a prolonged trade war could weaken global economies, reducing demand and partially offsetting the effects of tariffs,” De Haan said.

A slow but modest impact on fuel prices is expected in markets that rely heavily on Canadian crude oil or refined product imports, such as the Midwest, Rocky Mountains, and the Northeast.
