Month: May 2017

*Memorial Day on May 29. Report released May 30, 2017.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – The price of gas ticked up nationwide to about $2.41 per gallon of regular unleaded, according to the weekly fuel price report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. However, the price increase was less than a penny per gallon, a welcome break after a much higher increase the previous week.

Nonetheless, some regional price averages advanced at a much greater pace than the national average, according to the E.I.A. The broad West Coast region, for instance, saw prices lurch forward nearly three cents per gallon, with that region’s price average flirting with a $3.00 per gallon price point. The region is heavily influenced by prices in California, where drivers have been paying in excess of $3.00 for most of May, according to the weekly report.

The E.I.A. report had bad news for truckers and diesel-car owners, as the average price of diesel surged over three cents on the week. The national average now stands at $2.57 per gallon. Regional cost averages for both gasoline and diesel are listed below, ranked from highest to lowest price.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – Just as throngs of American drivers prepare to hit the road for Memorial Day, gas prices performed a dramatic about-face and rose three cents per gallon on the week, according to the latest weekly price survey from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The nation’s average gas price is now $2.40 per gallon, lead by sharp increases in prices in California, and across the Midwest and New England.

The price of diesel dropped, although only slightly, according to  the E.I.A. report. The nation’s average diesel driver paid about a half-penny less for fuel this week, although  the drop was not enough to move the needle on the average pricing. That figure remains $2.54 per gallon for a consecutive week.

Regional cost averages for both gasoline and diesel are listed below, ranked from highest to lowest price.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – The nation’s average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas barely budged this week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Most regional price averages declined on the week, according to the weekly E.I.A. district survey, but there was a penny per gallon increase across California, and a stiff increase of nearly four cents per gallon in the volatile Midwest region. That kept the national average price decline in check, at a mere third of a penny per gallon. As a consequence, the nation’s average gas price held this week at $2.37 per gallon.
The price of diesel dropped over two cents per gallon, however, according to the E.I.A. report. That price decline was fairly evenly met across most regions, although California enjoyed a bigger price dip. Nationally, the E.I.A. reports the cost of diesel is now $2.54 per gallon.
