For the first time in three weeks, national gas prices have fallen. The current national cost of gas stands at $3.16, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 32 cents.

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 is up 1.1cents from a month ago and 32.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said he expects gas prices to continue to fall. He noted that “The national average price of gasoline has resumed its decline, with falling prices driven by easing tensions in the Middle East—just weeks after those same tensions had pushed prices higher. For motorists planning to hit the road for Independence Day, gas prices are expected to continue falling nearly coast to coast in the lead-up to July 4. Relief could expand as the holiday weekend approaches, with the national average on track to hit its lowest July 4 level since 2021 at $3.15 per gallon, we project. As long as tensions in the Middle East remain contained and the U.S. avoids a major hurricane, we could see the national average fall below $3 per gallon later this summer.”

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of June 9:

  • East Coast: $3.03

  • Midwest: $3.05

  • Gulf Coast: $2.74

  • Rocky Mountain: $3.18

  • West Coast: $4.11

The national average has seen a decline since the easing of Middle East tensions dropping 5 cents from a week ago. All regions saw a decline in gas price.

Gas prices rose for the first time since May this week. The national cost of gas currently stands at $3.14, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Prices year-over-year are down by 30 cents.

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 is up 1.1cents from a week ago and 32.7 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, warns that further price hikes are to be expected, “With Israel and Iran trading attacks, oil prices have surged to multi-month highs — setting the stage for additional price hikes at gas pumps across the country. As long as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, the risk of further impacts on oil prices remains high. For now, I expect gas prices could rise by 10 to 20 cents, while diesel could climb 15 to 25 cents in the coming days. Motorists should prepare for what will likely be modest price increases — for now — but the situation has the potential to worsen at any moment.”

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of June 16:

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 is down 5.2 cents from a month ago and 32.8 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, noted that the “Average gas prices declined in nearly all states over the last week as refineries ramped up output and gasoline supplies surged.” He added that, “While a few states experienced price cycling — a pattern where prices drop sharply and then spike every couple of weeks — the overall gentle downward trend is typical as summer progresses. If oil prices continue to rise gradually, it could eventually impact gas prices, but for now, we likely won’t see any major shifts at the pump in most areas this week.”

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of June 9:

  • East Coast: $2.95

  • Midwest: $2.97

  • Gulf Coast: $2.71

  • Rocky Mountain: $3.08

  • West Coast: $4.15

The national average has hovered between $3.11 and $3.17, with the West Coast and the Rocky Mountains seeing the steepest decline of about 5 cents and the Gulf Coast seeing an increase of 1 cent.

In the previous week, gas prices dipped slightly. 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 39 cents.

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 price of gasoline is down 3.8 cents from last week and 41.0 cents from a year ago. 

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, is optimistic that increased refinery output could lower prices further. He noted that, “The national average price of gasoline has continued its gentle descent over the last week, with the most notable declines seen in the Great Lakes region, where a minor refinery issue was resolved, sending wholesale gas prices lower.” He added that prices in California are seeing a decline as well, “a trend that should soon extend across much of the West Coast as additional gasoline shipments from Asia help offset recent refinery disruptions.”

De Haan also noted that unexpected outages could still cause short-term price bumps.

  • East Coast: $2.98
