June Fuel Update: Prices Continue to Fall
While prices have continued to decline for four straight weeks, the next weeks don't look as promising.

Gasoline prices are easing across much of the U.S., with the national average falling to $4.09 per gallon as lower oil costs and stronger refinery output provide temporary relief for drivers despite ongoing global supply concerns.

U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of June 8, 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 17.9 cents over the last week and stands at $4.09 per gallon.
This is down 45.2 cents per gallon from a month ago and $1.02 per gallon higher than a year ago.
“Average gasoline prices declined in virtually every state over the last week as oil prices continued to fall, with crude approaching $90 per barrel and refiners ramping up output following seasonal maintenance,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “The combination of lower oil costs and improving refinery runs has kept downward pressure on pump prices, giving motorists a welcome reprieve. However, the future of prices remains murky. With the Strait of Hormuz remaining effectively closed, global oil supplies continue to tighten, and any further deterioration in the situation could send prices sharply higher. For now, motorists may enjoy the savings at the pump, but the risk of a significant reversal has not gone away.”
Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of June 8:
- East Coast: $3.99
- Midwest: $3.95
- Gulf Coast: $3.64
- Rocky Mountain: $4.19
- West Coast: $5.36
Here are the top 10 cheapest states to buy gas, according to AAA data:
State | Regular | |
|---|---|---|
1 | Indiana | $3.39 |
2 | Texas | $3.61 |
3 | Oklahoma | $3.64 |
