The national average price of gas dropped -3.4 cents to $3.15 last week. The national average is up 1.6 cents from a month ago and down -13.1 cents from a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 1.4 cents in the last week and stands at $3.665 per gallon. The median U.S. gas price is $2.99 per gallon, unchanged from last week and about -10 cents lower than the national average.
- GasBuddy: "With the unofficial end of summer now behind us, we saw the lowest national average price of gasoline on Labor Day since 2020, with prices lower than a year ago in all but three states. This caps off the most affordable summer at the pump since 2021, with motorists spending $11.3 billion less on gasoline compared to last year. While summer may be in the rearview mirror, low gas prices aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, so long as we avoid major hurricanes or other disruptions, we’re on solid footing to see the national average dip to $2.99 per gallon this fall."

The national average price of gas increased 3.4 cents to $3.12 last week. The national average is down -2.1 cents from a month ago and down -18.3 cents from a year ago. The national average price of diesel has decreased -2.0 cents in the last week and stands at $3.651 per gallon. The median U.S. gas price is $2.99 per gallon, up 1 cent from last week and about -13 cents lower than the national average.
- GasBuddy: "The national average saw a modest increase over the last week after storms temporarily knocked the Midwest’s largest refinery offline in Indiana, triggering sharp jumps in gas prices across Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan. We could soon see prices cycle higher in Illinois and Indiana as well, although there’s been some late-week relief in wholesale prices now that the refinery is restarting. Meanwhile, Florida saw the nation’s largest weekly decline, but a rebound due to price cycling is likely on the horizon. All of this is playing out while oil prices remain relatively stable in the low $60s. With no major hurricanes threatening the U.S. at the moment, the biggest wildcard remains any shifts in Russia’s war on Ukraine. For now, expect only moderate gas price fluctuations, with the potential for lower prices arriving later this fall."

The national average price of gas was unchanged at $3.08. The national average is down -4.6 cents from a month ago and down -27.9 cents from a year ago. The national average price of diesel has decreased -1.9 cents in the last week and stands at $3.671 per gallon. The median U.S. gas price is $2.98 per gallon, up 1 cent from last week and about -11 cents lower than the national average.
- GasBuddy: “The national average is nearly unchanged from a week ago, with gasoline prices continuing to hover in the same territory where they’ve spent much of 2025 so far — in the low-$3-per-gallon range — as oil prices remain anchored in the $60s. Price cycling markets once again led the biggest weekly price changes, with Ohio and Florida seeing a cycle and higher prices last week, while Michigan posted the largest drop and could be due for another jump in the cycle sometime this week. For the majority of motorists in non-cycling states, gas prices will likely remain near current levels as we head toward Labor Day. However, it’s worth watching developments around a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. If such an agreement materializes, it could send oil prices lower on expectations that sanctions against Russia might be eased, effectively boosting global oil supply.”

The national average price of gas dropped -2.7 cents to $3.08. The national average is down -7.0 cents from a month ago and down -32.3 cents from a year ago. The national average price of diesel has decreased -1.8 cents in the last week and stands at $3.690 per gallon. The median U.S. gas price is $2.97 per gallon, down -2 cents from last week and about -11 cents lower than the national average.
- GasBuddy: “After rising for two straight weeks, the national average price of gasoline saw a slight decline in the last week as oil prices fell below $64 per barrel, paving the way for prices to ease in most states. Price-cycling markets again saw the largest weekly swings, with Florida and Michigan cycling upward, while Indiana and Ohio experienced sharp declines, but may be due for jumps this week. As we approach the peak of hurricane season, forecasts are showing favorable conditions for tropical development, so we’ll be watching closely for any potential impact on supply and prices as Labor Day nears.”

The national average price of gas increased 1.2 cents to $3.11. The national average is up 1.3 cents from a month ago and down -32.8 cents from a year ago. The national average price of diesel has decreased -0.1 cents in the last week and stands at $3.708 per gallon. The median U.S. gas price is $2.99 per gallon, unchanged from last week and about -12 cents lower than the national average.
- GasBuddy: “It was another relatively tame week at the pump, with the national average inching up for the second straight week as oil prices briefly touched the $70 per barrel mark before sliding late in the week on news that OPEC+ will raise oil production again in September. While price cycling led gas prices in some states to see double-digit increases or decreases, most saw only modest fluctuations. With OPEC+ now fully restoring production to 2023 levels — and fresh economic concerns arising from a weak jobs report and renewed tariff threats — oil prices may continue to face headwinds, potentially paving the way for a decline in gas prices in the weeks ahead.”

The national average price of gas increased 0.9 cents to $3.10. The national average is down -6.5 cents from a month ago and down -37.5 cents from a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 1.6 cents in the last week and stands at $3.709 per gallon. The median U.S. gas price is $2.99 per gallon, up 1 cent and about -11 cents lower than the national average.
- GasBuddy: “It’s been another relatively quiet week for average gas prices, with most states seeing modest or slight declines, while a handful of price cycling states experienced the most noticeable fluctuations. Oil prices continue to hover in the mid-to-upper $60s, and with gasoline demand starting to ease as we head into August, we could see prices gradually decline as we approach Labor Day. That said, this is also the time of year when the tropics begin to stir, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on hurricane activity that could disrupt supply and shift the outlook.”
