Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average gas price in the US right now?

Why are gas prices so high?
Gas prices are influenced by crude oil costs, refining capacity, distribution logistics, federal and state taxes, and global supply and demand. Policy decisions on drilling, pipelines, and energy independence also play a significant role. During periods of restricted domestic production, prices tend to rise.

Under Biden (2021-2025), prices averaged approximately $3.52/gallon, peaking near $5.00 in June 2022. Trump's second term (2025+) has seen prices trending downward from around $3.12.
What state has the cheapest gas?
States with the lowest gas prices typically include Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas. These states benefit from proximity to refineries, lower state gas taxes, and fewer regulations. Currently, Texas has among the lowest averages at around $2.75/gallon.
