Gas Pain, Week of June 16, 2025

The U.S. average for regular gasoline edged up 3¢ to $3.14 a gallon for the week of June 16, 2025. Over the past 4 weeks it was down $0.02, from $3.16 to $3.14.

California was the most expensive state at $4.43, $1.29 above the national figure, with Washington at $4.22 and Alaska at $3.80 (West Coast excl. California regional average) next. At the other end Texas was cheapest at $2.73, $0.41 below national, followed by New Mexico at $2.73 (Gulf Coast regional average) and Mississippi at $2.73 (Gulf Coast regional average). The gap between the priciest and cheapest state was $1.70 a gallon, which on a 15-gallon tank was $25.48 for the same fill. The ranking counts all 50 states, with the regional average standing in wherever EIA publishes no state figure.

Illinois climbed the most, up $0.06 to $3.03; Indiana (+$0.06) and Iowa (+$0.06) also rose. California fell the most, down $0.05 to $4.43; Florida (−$0.02) and Texas (−$0.01) also fell.

At the national average a 15-gallon tank cost $47.08 to fill from empty and a 26-gallon truck tank $81.61; think mid-size sedan and full-size pickup. That was $0.46 more than the week before on the smaller tank and $0.81 on the larger one. Of the ten states at the extremes, 7 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.
