The national average price for a gallon of regular gas continues to climb. As of today, drivers across the US are paying an average of $3.18 per gallon, according to data gathered from AAA. That said, the average number doesn’t reflect the significant variation seen from state to state. Californians currently face the steepest prices in the country, with an average of $4.66 per gallon for regular unleaded. Even though this state was above California at one point last week, Washington isn't far behind, where drivers are paying an average of $4.62. Hawaii comes in third at $4.47 per gallon. Oregon is the only other state where the average price of regular gas exceeds $4.00 per gallon. On the opposite end of the spectrum, drivers in several southern and central states are seeing much lower prices. Oklahoma and Mississippi currently have the lowest average gas prices in the nation, both coming in at under $2.70 per gallon. In Texas, the average stands at $2.74, while Tennessee follows closely behind at $2.77. Prices for mid-grade and premium gasoline have also seen increases in recent weeks. The national average for mid-grade fuel now sits at $3.66 per gallon, while premium fuel is averaging around $4.02 per gallon. Despite the recent month-over-month uptick, prices for all three fuel types—regular, mid-grade, and premium—remain lower than they were at this time last year. These trends offer a mixed picture for consumers: while gas prices are rising in the short term, they’re still cheaper than what many Americans paid in 2024.
