U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of October 6, 2025

The national average for gas prices increased by 0.3 cents over the last week.  

The current national cost of gas stands at $3.08 per gallon, according to GasBuddy data. In addition, data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations nationwide shows that the national average is down 10.8 cents from a month ago and is down 4.7 cents from a year ago.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, says it really all just depends on where you are. 

“While the national average slipped slightly over the last week, it’s once again been a mixed bag depending on where you fill up. Gas prices cycled upward in Ohio and Michigan, declined in Indiana and Delaware, and pain is about to return to California and neighboring states following last week’s refinery fire outside Los Angeles. While OPEC again agreed over the weekend to boost oil production for November, the real story for motorists has been regional variation — especially in areas served by California’s supply system. Though the damage from the fire appears limited, the West Coast is likely to see prices climb, while most other areas can expect relative stability or slight declines.”

Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of October 6: 

• East Coast: $2.98

• Midwest: $2.93

• Gulf Coast: $2.72

• Rocky Mountain: $3.06

• West Coast: $4.23

The Rocky Mountains and the West Coast both experienced a slight decline in prices.

The national average for gas prices decreased by 6.4 cents over the last week. 

The current national cost of gas stands at $3.02 per gallon, according to GasBuddy data. In addition, data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations nationwide shows that the national average is down 13.7 cents from a month ago and is down 14.4 cents from a year ago.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, says prices may drop below $3 per gallon for the first time in years.

“Americans appear to be on the cusp of seeing the national average drop below $3 per gallon and potentially stay there for the first time in years, as prices have fallen across the vast majority of the country,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “With well over 40 states seeing gas prices decline and oil plunging below $60 per barrel to end the week, the good news may not end if — and when — the national average hits that magical $2.99 mark. We could even see a handful of stations in places like Oklahoma, Texas, or even Wisconsin drops below $2 per gallon in the weeks ahead — something not seen since the pandemic. In addition, with wages up and gas prices down, Americans are spending the smallest share of their paycheck on gasoline in many years.”

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

• East Coast: $3.06

• Midwest: $2.81

• Gulf Coast: $2.62

• Rocky Mountain: $3.05

• West Coast: $4.21

All regions saw a decrease in prices over the last week.

U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of October 20, 2025

The national average for gas prices has officially hit below the $3 mark for the first time in over a year.
At 9:30 a.m. ET on October 20, GasBuddy reported the national average standing at $2.969 per gallon. This track is projected to be the lowest daily average since May of 2021. 

As demand for gas starts to decrease, GasBuddy predicts that the numbers could even dip near $2.80.

OPEC+ made the decision to increase oil production earlier this year, which explains the lower fuel prices. 
OPEC+ has been ramping up production since March 2025, stoking fears of an oil glut. Some banks now predict crude could sink to $40 a barrel by 2026. With demand easing and cheaper winter gasoline hitting the market, U.S. pump prices have tumbled — including a $1.99-per-gallon report from Evans, Colorado.

“We saw a few $2.99 days last year, but this year brings the strongest potential for extended sub-$3 prices since 2021,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.  “This drop is overwhelmingly being driven by the significant increase in oil production from OPEC throughout 2025, which has meaningfully rebalanced the global oil market. That, combined with weaker demand and finally easing inflation, has created the perfect environment for lower prices. While some may be quick to assign political credit, the reality is that global supply dynamics — particularly OPEC’s production decisions — have been the primary force behind the relief drivers are seeing at the pump.”

U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of October 27, 2025

The national average for fuel prices has risen above $3 once again due to a refinery snag in the Great Lakes region. 

The current national average stands at exactly $3.00 per gallon and has risen 2.5 cents since last week, according to GasBuddydata compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country. 

Despite the weekly price rise, prices are still down 10.8 cents from a month ago and 7.4 cents from a year ago.

“The national average saw a slight rise over the last week, as gas prices surged in parts of the Midwest after a refinery fire pushed wholesale gasoline prices sharply higher in the region,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While the spike in prices in affected areas was significant, relief is likely in the weeks ahead as the situation stabilizes. For now, the possibility of a U.S.-China trade deal could lift oil prices on optimism that it would increase trade and reduce tariffs — potentially keeping the national average slightly above the $3-per-gallon mark for a couple more weeks before slipping back below $3 ahead of Thanksgiving.”

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

• East Coast: $2.91

• Midwest: $2.87

• Gulf Coast: $2.58

• Rocky Mountain: $2.97

• West Coast: $4.11
