In June 2025, one gallon of diesel cost an average of 3.6 U.S. dollars in the United States. That was an increase compared to the month prior, but lower than prices in June 2024. Impact of crude prices on motor fuel consumer prices Diesel prices are primarily determined by the cost of crude oil. In fact, crude oil regularly accounts for around 50 percent of end consumer prices of diesel. As such, supply restrictions or weak demand outlooks influence prices at the pump. The fall in diesel prices noted in the latter half of 2024 is a reflection of lower crude prices. Diesel and gasoline price development The usage of distillate fuel oil began in the 1930s, but until further development in the 1960s, diesel vehicles were mostly applied to commercial use only. In the U.S., diesel-powered cars remain a fairly small portion of the automobile market and diesel consumption is far lower than gasoline consumption. In general, gasoline also tends to be more widely available than diesel fuel and usually sells for a lower retail price. However, diesel engines have better fuel economy than gasoline engines and, as such, tend to be used for large commercial vehicles.

The cost of diesel fuel in the United States reached an annual average of 3.76 U.S. dollars per gallon in 2024. This was a decrease compared to the previous year, when diesel sold for an average of 4.21 U.S. dollars per gallon. In 2022, increased economic activity and thus fuel demand combined with supply constraints following the Russia-Ukraine war, which resulted in a notable rise in monthly diesel prices Crude oil prices and their impact on motor fuel prices Motor fuel prices largely mirror major oil benchmarks, such as the OPEC reference basket, WTI, and Brent. As such, the oil glut in 2015 and 2016, which followed years of increased oil production output by the U.S., is largely responsible for the fall in diesel prices seen in those years. The same is true for the 2020 pandemic-induced oil crisis and fall in benchmarks that year. Diesel and gasoline price development The usage of diesel began in the 1930s, but until further development in the 1960s, diesel vehicles were mostly used commercially.

The average price for regular gasoline in the United States stood at **** U.S. dollars per gallon on August 11, 2025. This compared to a diesel price of **** U.S. dollars per gallon. Prices for gasoline increased slightly that week. Real price surge of 2022 and 2023 still below 2011 to 2014 prices When looking at the real price of gasoline over time, U.S. drivers had to pay notably more in the years between 2011 and 2014. The surge in prices noted throughout 2022 and partly for 2023, which followed supply constraints, was still lower in terms of real U.S. dollars. U.S. on the lower-end spectrum of worldwide motor fuel prices The U.S. has some of the lowest conventional motor fuel prices in the world. Although fuel prices are usually higher in high-income countries, the U.S. profits from its position as the world’s largest crude oil producer and can keep retail prices for oil products comparatively low. For example, among high-income countries, prices for automotive premium gasoline (RON 95) were only lower in Russia and Saudi Arabia - countries where crude oil and oil product exports are in part restricted by sanctions, thus keeping domestic supply high.

Gasoline prices in the United States have experienced significant fluctuations over the past three decades, with 2024 seeing an average price of 3.3 U.S. dollars per gallon. This marks a notable decrease from the record high of 3.95 U.S. dollars per gallon in 2022, yet remains considerably higher than prices seen in the early 2000s. Despite this, American consumers continue to enjoy relatively low gasoline prices compared to many other countries, with some European countries paying more than double the U.S. average. Drivers in Hawaii and California pay the most at the pump Gasoline prices vary significantly across the United States, with Hawaii and California consistently ranking as the most expensive states for this fuel. As of January 1, 2025, Hawaii's average price for regular gasoline was 4.54 U.S. dollars per gallon, nearly 1.5 dollars above the national average. California's high prices are largely attributed to its steep gasoline taxes, which reached 68.1 U.S. cents per gallon in January 2024. These taxes play a crucial role in shaping retail prices and are typically reinvested in road infrastructure, demonstrating the direct link between fuel costs and transportation development. Patterns in gasoline consumption In a global context, the United States maintains some of the lowest conventional motor fuel prices among high-income countries. This is largely due to its position as the world's largest crude oil producer, allowing it to keep retail prices comparatively low. Despite fluctuations in price, gasoline consumption in the U.S. remains robust, averaging around 8.5 million barrels per day in 2024. Consumption tends to be highest in the summer months and lowest in the winter months due to changing driving behavior.

U.S. gasoline prices decreased across all fuel grades in July 2025 when compared to the month before. Regular gasoline prices fell to an average of 3.13 U.S. dollars per gallon. In the period of consideration, gasoline prices reached their highest level in June 2022. Differences in fuel grades Fuel grades at U.S. gas stations are differentiated by octane level. Higher grade fuels have higher octane levels, meaning that the fuel can be compressed more in the engine. This enables high-performance engines to create more power. Fuel may also vary from state to state and pump to pump. Some cities also have regulations on gasoline in order to improve air quality. Bioethanol is added to gasoline in some cases to meet the renewable fuel standard. Gasoline-run engines are able to run on blends with a bioethanol percentage of up to 25 percent. Gasoline prices reach historic high Primarily a result of the Russia-Ukraine war and inflation, the annual retail price of gasoline reached a new historic high in 2022, climbing to nearly four U.S. dollars per gallon. By 2024, annual prices had decreased again slightly, reaching 2014 levels.

An economic analysis of producing Fischer–Tropsch (FT) liquid fuel such as diesel from crop residue is presented. The process is thermochemical based involving fast pyrolysis and autothermal reforming (ATR) followed by FT synthesis. A spreadsheet for estimating economics is presented, which is simple to use and transparent in its input parameters and its output. Plant sizes of 2000, 10 000, and 35 000 dry metric tons (t) per day were calculated at 8% return on capital to require sales prices (exclusive of tax) of $3.30, $2.40, and $2.06 per gallon (gal), respectively. U.S. tax would add another ∼$0.50/gallon. A biomass feed stock cost of $61.20/dry t was assumed. Capital cost for the 2000 dry t/day plant is estimated to be $M231. These estimates, of course, must be regarded as rough, but they suggest that even without the benefit of imposed regulations liquid fuel derived from biomass could be competitive at current price levels. Sale of char produced in the pyrolysis step for soil amendment as a byproduct at $500/t, had a significantly favorable impact on the economics, reducing diesel price by $0.35/gal. Like the heavy influence of the cost of crude oil on current fuel price, the cost of biomass is the largest single contributor to the final price of biomass derived fuel and becomes more so as plant capacity increases. This suggests the need to improve methods of biomass gathering and delivery. For each $10/dry t increase in the price of biomass the sales price of the FT fuel is estimated to increase by $0.20/gal. It is estimated that pyrolyzer collectives 25 miles square (mi2) on a side would reduce diesel price by $0.12/gal, as compared to those 14 mi2 on a side.

Increasing the minimum octane ratings of the U.S. gasoline pool would enable higher engine efficiency in future light-duty vehicles (e.g., through higher compression ratio engines), facilitating greater vehicle fuel economy and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This study applied a linear programming model of the aggregate U.S. refining sector to estimate the technical and economic effects of producing a gasoline pool meeting alternative combinations of national standards for ethanol content, minimum research octane number (RON), and minimum octane sensitivity (OS = RON – MON, where MON is the motor octane number). The primary effects assessed included refining capacity additions and investments, incremental refining and fuel production costs, crude oil consumption, refinery CO2 emissions, and national average gasoline properties and composition. The analysis indicated that (i) with refining technology and gasoline blendstocks currently used in the U.S, the average RON and OS of the gasoline pool could be increased significantly using conventional refining processes and gasoline blendstocks, especially at higher levels of ethanol blending; (ii) a 102 RON standard could be met with E15, E20, and E25; (iii) the highest attainable OS standard would be 10 OS with E10, 12 OS with E15, 13 OS with E20, and 14 OS with E25. While incremental fuel production costs ($/gal) and refining investment requirements ($ billion) would increase with increasing RON and OS standards (for each level of assumed ethanol blending), increased RON for E10 gasoline might be attained at a cost of 3 and 10¢/gal for 95 and 98 RON, respectively. Adding large volumes of a high-RON, high-OS blendstock, such as ethanol (currently produced in large volume) or iso-octene (currently produced in only de minimis volumes), would extend the achievable RON and OS frontier, with high OS levels achievable only with iso-octene significantly increasing incremental refining cost. Additional ethanol use would offset some of the increase in incremental refining cost by reducing the required volume and RON of the hydrocarbon portion of the gasoline pool.

Hybrid Car Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing emission norms is notably driving the hybrid car market growth, although factors such as high vehicle cost may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the hybrid car industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Hybrid Car Market Driver

The increasing emission norms is one of the key drivers supporting the hybrid car market growth. The growing awareness among consumers about environmental protection, along with the stringent emission regulations implemented by regulatory bodies, is forcing OEMs to manufacture hybrid and electric vehicles as they emit fewer greenhouse gases than gasoline and diesel vehicles. For instance, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority announced that it has converted half of the emirate’s cabs to hybrid vehicles by 2021. Likewise, the US and Europe are focusing on lowering emission limits to reduce the greenhouse effect and are also focusing on improving vehicle fuel consumption. For instance, the US Department of Transportation has set the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for vehicles. These factors will fuel the growth of the global hybrid car market during the forecast period.

Key Hybrid Car Market Trend

Rising investments in hybrid cars is another factor supporting the hybrid car market growth. Gasoline prices rose to an average of $3.4 per gallon in December 2021, up from $2.28 per gallon in December 2020. In stop-and-go traffic, the average commuter travels 40 miles round trip to work. The typical automobile has a 10- to 12-gallon tank that costs $35 to $40 to fill. The average gasoline engine uses more gasoline per mile in stop-and-go traffic when stepping on the accelerator, which is often needed during stop-and-go traffic. Thus, with the rise in gasoline prices, consumers are shifting toward hybrid cars, as they offer fuel savings and reduce the daily spend on gasoline. These factors are fueling the demand for hybrid vehicles, which will continue during the forecast period.

Key Hybrid Car Market Challenge

High vehicle cost is one of the factors hindering the hybrid car market growth. A hybrid vehicle can cost up to 20% more than a traditional gas engine-powered vehicle. The battery is the essential component of a hybrid vehicle, such as a plug-in hybrid car. It raises the vehicle's cost, making it more expensive than diesel and gasoline-powered automobiles. The additional equipment necessary to create the vehicle, such as an electric motor and a high-voltage battery pack, also contributes to the high cost. Hybrid automobiles require additional equipment to enable features such as regenerative braking, which raises the price even further. Such high costs of the equipment will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

This hybrid car market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
