Today's Nebraska Gas Prices
The current gas price average for Nebraska sits at $$2.87 per gallon for regular, below ($1.12) the national average of ${natAvg}. Understanding Nebraska's fuel tax structure and Plains supply infrastructure reveals why prices trend the way they do.
Costco consistently offers the cheapest gas in any Nebraska market where it operates — typically 15-20 cents below local street prices. Circle K, Speedway, and QuikTrip (where available) also routinely undercut the market average. Premium brands like Shell, Chevron, and BP typically price above the local average.
For a standard sedan with a 13-gallon tank, a fill-up in Nebraska at today's $$2.87 average costs approximately ${fillCost}. A full-size truck or SUV with an 18-22 gallon tank runs ${truckFillLow} to ${truckFillHigh} to fill.
Gas price trends in Nebraska follow national crude oil market movements combined with regional refinery and supply factors. Seasonal patterns typically see prices rise in spring (summer blend transition) and ease in fall and winter.
Four main factors drive Nebraska gas prices: crude oil cost (50-60% of the price), state and federal fuel taxes (25 cents + 18.4 cents federal), refining and distribution costs, and retail station margins. Crude oil price swings cause the most dramatic short-term changes.
