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.
In the second quarter of 2022, the average retail price for a gallon of regular gasoline stood at around 4.49 U.S. dollars, up from the previous quarter.
A glut in oil supply between 2014 and 2016 forced down prices and led to a low average U.S. gasoline price of roughly 1.9 U.S. dollars per gallon in the first quarter. Gasoline prices fluctuated considerably between 2019 and 2020 as a result of tensions between the United States and other oil exporters, such as Iran, and stifling oil demand during the Covid-19 pandemic. The price of West Texas Intermediate briefly dipped in the negative in April 2020.
Seasonal price variations
There are periodic fluctuations in gasoline prices in the United States, where the second and third quarters are typically more expensive than the rest of the year. One of the factors contributing to changing gasoline prices is a decrease in production from refineries due to maintenance work in tandem with an increase in demand, as holiday goers make road-trips. Gasoline will revert to cheaper winter-grade in September. Annual motor vehicle consumption in the United States was around 128 billion gallons as of 2020.

The retail price for E85 fuel in the United States stood at 3.56 U.S. dollars per gasoline gallon equivalent on October 1, 2024. E85 fuel tends to sell for around 0.20 to 0.30 U.S. dollars more than regular gasoline, although the discrepancy was greater in 2022. The lowest fuel prices were recorded in April 2020 - at the height of the pandemic-induced oil crisis, when the E85 fuel price was 2.28 U.S. dollars per gasoline gallon equivalent. E85 fuel is an 85 percent ethanol fuel blended with gasoline. Biofuel share in transportation duel demand to increase The consumption of fuel ethanol in the United States has seen notable growth, reaching approximately 14.2 billion gallons in 2023. This increase aligns with the expanding role of biofuels in the transportation sector, which accounted for about seven percent of fuel demand in 2023. Projections suggest this share will rise to eight percent by 2030, even as overall fuel demand is expected to decrease. Economic impact of the ethanol industry Beyond its role in fuel markets, the ethanol industry has become a significant contributor to the U.S. economy. In 2023, it generated around 72,500 direct jobs and 322,000 indirect or induced jobs. The industry's economic footprint extended to a 54.2 billion U.S. dollar contribution to the country's GDP and 32.5 billion U.S. dollars in household income. This economic impact, coupled with the ongoing trade in biofuels - including exports of over 5.9 million barrels of biodiesel in 2023 - demonstrates the multifaceted significance of the biofuel sector in the United States.
