The average price for regular gasoline in the United States stood at 3.08 U.S. dollars per gallon on March 17, 2025. This compared to a diesel price of 3.59 U.S. dollars per gallon. Prices for gasoline and diesel decreased 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.

The global fuel energy price index stood at 188.62 index points in January 2025, up from 100 in the base year 2016. Figures increased that month due to a rise in crude oil prices as a result of new sanctions on Russian oil and greater heating fuel demand. The fuel energy index includes prices for crude oil, natural gas, coal, and propane. Supply constraints across multiple commodities The global natural gas price index surged nearly 11-fold, and the global coal price index rose almost seven-fold from summer 2020 to summer 2022. This notable escalation was largely attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, exerting increased pressure on the global supply chain. Global ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine war The invasion of Ukraine by Russia played a role in the surge of global inflation rates. Notably, Argentina bore the brunt, experiencing a hyperinflation rate of 92 percent in 2022. The war also exerted a significant impact on global gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Saudi Arabia emerged with a notable increase of nearly three percent, as several Western nations shifted their exports from Russia to Middle Eastern countries due to the sanctions imposed on the former.

On March 24, 2025, the price of ultra-low sulfur unleaded petrol (gasoline) in the United Kingdom averaged 135.61 pence per liter. This compared to 143.07 pence per liter for diesel. Diesel prices were consistently higher than petrol/gasoline prices throughout this period, although the margin varied. Reasons for such differences in pricing lie in the refining process and molecular makeup of the products, with diesel requiring more complex refining processes and being an overall heavier liquid. As motor fuel pricing in the UK is not regulated by a monitoring body, there may also be notable differences in prices between retailers and regions. Supermarkets provide lowest fuel prices in the UK In the UK, much of the motor fuel is sold through supermarkets. Large supermarkets, or hypermarkets, account for more than 40 percent of all motor fuel sales in the country. The reason for their popularity often lies in the fact that they offer lower average prices. In the last four years, regular petrol/gasoline sold at supermarkets was up to six pence per liter cheaper than the national average. How UK fuel prices compare to the rest of the world Tied as they are to crude oil prices, motor fuels are generally cheapest in major producing countries, such as Iran, Venezuela, and Russia. In Europe, costs of importing the raw or finished products, in addition to taxes and levies, may hike up pump prices significantly. The UK is often among the countries with the highest petrol/gasoline prices, alongside other large European car markets such as France and Germany.

In February 2025, one gallon of diesel cost an average of 3.68 U.S. dollars in the United States. That was an increase compared to two months prior, which was the lowest price in the past 24-month period. 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.

Oil & Gas Fuel Type: Oil & gas-fired boilers remain widely used due to their high energy density and affordability.Fossil Fuel Type: Fossil fuel-based boilers, including coal and natural gas, continue to account for a significant share of the market due to their established infrastructure and cost-effectiveness.Non-Fossil Fuel Type: Non-fossil fuel-based boilers, such as biomass and solar thermal boilers, are gaining traction due to government incentives and environmental regulations. Recent developments include: Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro’s Holyrood Thermal Generating Station awarded Babcock & Wilcox with a $11m maintenance contract in October 2023., In December 2022, Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) signed a Technology License Agreement with Sumitomo SHI FW of Finland to engineer, design, manufacture, erect, commission, and sell supercritical & subcritical Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) boilers inside India & overseas territories. CFBC technology provides fuel flexibility, improved operating flexibility, decreased Sox & Nox emissions and the capability of providing bio-mass co-fired CFBC boilers., An announcement by Babcock & Wilcox in November 2022 confirmed that it had received over USD 24 million worth of contracts for advanced control technologies, two industrial package boilers and auxiliary equipment for petrol processing plants in North America., A leading provider of energy and environmental solutions, Thermax also developed a unique multi-fuel boiler solution for industrial users willing to transfer from a traditional portfolio to a green one, having the flexibility of switching inputs in August 2022., The aim was achieved through FlexiSource In August 2022, which is a multi-waste solution provided by Thermax Babcock & Wilcox Energy Solutions, allowing adjustability of energy input. It addressed fuel availability due to geopolitical changes, other prices and environmental considerations, among others., Uzbekistan ordered two H-25 gas turbines from Mitsubishi Power for district heating purposes in March 2022, JERA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries launched a pilot project on co-firing ammonia at coal-fired boiler rates increase as part of their initiatives in January 2022, In March 2021, Siemens AG presented the SICONTOP device, which is another revolutionary controller for industrial boilers. This innovation marked improving operational efficiency that ensured an increase in revenue growth at Siemens AG within the industrial boilers sector. The company thus reinforces its key competencies, thereby addressing changing industry dynamics and positioning itself positively for future market leadership.. Notable trends are: Rising Demand from End-user Industries to Augment the Market Growth.

In September 2022, diesel prices ranged between 178.6 and 182.2 pence per liter across UK regions. Diesel fuel prices are generally highest in London and lowest in Northern Ireland. In early 2022, the Russia-Ukraine war and trader uncertainty pushed crude oil and consequently motor fuel prices to record highs. As a result, March 2022 saw the greatest ever monthly rise in fuel prices.

This table shows the average prices paid for natural gas and electricity. The total prices represent the sum of energy supply prices and network prices.

The total price is the price paid by an end-user, for instance a household or an industrial company consuming energy in their production process. Natural gas used for non-energy purposes or for electricity generation is excluded from the data.

The price cap set by the Dutch government for 2023 has now been incorporated into the prices.
