Gas Pain, Week of July 28, 2025

The U.S. average for regular gasoline held at $3.12 a gallon for the week of July 28, 2025, unchanged from the week before to the cent. Over the past 10 weeks it was down $0.04, from $3.16 to $3.12.

Washington was the most expensive state at $4.25, $1.12 above the national figure, with California at $4.23 and Alaska at $3.73 (West Coast excl. California regional average) next. At the other end Texas was cheapest at $2.74, $0.38 below national, followed by New Mexico at $2.75 (Gulf Coast regional average) and Mississippi at $2.75 (Gulf Coast regional average). The gap between the priciest and cheapest state was $1.50 a gallon, which on a 15-gallon tank was $22.53 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 $0.20 to $3.09; Florida (+$0.04) and Illinois (+$0.03) also rose. Minnesota fell the most, down $0.04 to $2.93; Alaska (−$0.03) and Arizona (−$0.03) also fell.

At the national average a 15-gallon tank cost $46.85 to fill from empty and a 26-gallon truck tank $81.20; think mid-size sedan and full-size pickup. 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.
