Gas Pain, Week of June 23, 2025

Gas got noticeably more expensive. The U.S. average for regular jumped 7¢ in a week to $3.21 a gallon for the week of June 23, 2025. Over the past 5 weeks it was up $0.05, from $3.16 to $3.21.

California was the most expensive state at $4.44, $1.23 above the national figure, with Washington at $4.29 and Alaska at $3.85 (West Coast excl. California regional average) next. At the other end New Mexico was cheapest at $2.84 (Gulf Coast regional average), $0.37 below national, followed by Mississippi at $2.84 (Gulf Coast regional average) and Louisiana at $2.84 (Gulf Coast regional average). The gap between the priciest and cheapest state was $1.60 a gallon, which on a 15-gallon tank was $24.00 for the same fill. The ranking counts all 50 states, with the regional average standing in wherever EIA publishes no state figure.

Texas climbed the most, up $0.13 to $2.86; Massachusetts (+$0.13) and Connecticut (+$0.12) also rose. No state fell more than half a cent.

At the national average a 15-gallon tank cost $48.20 to fill from empty and a 26-gallon truck tank $83.54; think mid-size sedan and full-size pickup. That was $1.11 more than the week before on the smaller tank and $1.92 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.
