In August 2025, crude oil accounted for a 51 percent share of the retail cost of gasoline in the United States. Crude oil costs are the greatest determining factor for petroleum product prices such as gasoline. This is also reflected in the U.S. diesel price breakdown, with crude oil making up 42 percent of the retail price that same month. U.S. gasoline cost breakdown The end price that consumers pay for gasoline in the U.S. is made up of several different components. The weighting of these different costs in the end price of gasoline is also very dynamic depending on the market. In April 2020, just 25 percent of the cost of one U.S. gallon of gasoline was from the cost of crude oil, as a result of the 2020 oil crisis. Other cost components are those associated with refining, distribution and marketing, and taxes. Residents in California pay the highest gasoline taxes out of all U.S. states, at 68.1 cents per gallon as of January 2024. U.S. gasoline prices Since 1980, U.S. gasoline prices have fluctuated greatly, usually reflecting the volatile nature of crude oil prices. The U.S. has some of the lowest unleaded premium prices in the world. When looking at the real U.S. gasoline price to end users, figures amounted to 1.24 real U.S. dollars per gallon in 2023. This ‘real’ U.S. dollars figure refers to the purchasing power of one U.S. dollar relative to the period of time between 1982 and 1984.

The oil and natural gas price index is calculated using price data from both resources, weighted according to their share of energy consumption in the United States. The year 1982 is used as the base year for this index. Data sources include the International Monetary Fund and the Energy Information Administration.

One gallon of motor gasoline cost end users in the United States around 1.14 real U.S. dollars in 2024, down from 1.24 real U.S. dollars in the previous year. Figures in 2022 were impacted by that year's surge in crude oil prices, following supply restraints related to the Russia-Ukraine war.
