Gas Pain, Week of June 9, 2025

The U.S. average for regular gasoline slipped 2¢ to $3.11 a gallon for the week of June 9, 2025. Over the past 3 weeks it was down $0.05, from $3.16 to $3.11.

California was the most expensive state at $4.48, $1.37 above the national figure, with Washington at $4.20 and Alaska at $3.80 (West Coast excl. California regional average) next. At the other end New Mexico was cheapest at $2.72 (Gulf Coast regional average), $0.39 below national, followed by Mississippi at $2.72 (Gulf Coast regional average) and Louisiana at $2.72 (Gulf Coast regional average). The gap between the priciest and cheapest state was $1.76 a gallon, which on a 15-gallon tank was $26.45 for the same fill. The ranking counts all 50 states, with the regional average standing in wherever EIA publishes no state figure.

Ohio climbed the most, up $0.15 to $3.03; Texas (+$0.05) and Alabama (+$0.01) also rose. Colorado fell the most, down $0.13 to $2.94; California (−$0.07) and Idaho (−$0.06) also fell.

At the national average a 15-gallon tank cost $46.62 to fill from empty and a 26-gallon truck tank $80.81; think mid-size sedan and full-size pickup. That was $0.28 less than the week before on the smaller tank and $0.49 on the larger one. Of the ten states at the extremes, 8 were shown at a regional average, because EIA publishes a weekly state figure for only 9 states and the rest take the average of their PADD region. Every figure here was from EIA's weekly retail gasoline series for that week.
