The consumption of gasoline in the United States amounted to some 8.88 million barrels per day in June 2025. In the period of consideration, gasoline consumption reached its highest four-week average in July 2024. Consumption is generally highest in the summer months. Gasoline production and sales The U.S. reported a decrease in domestic motor gasoline refinery production in recent years, although gasoline sales remained at all-time highs. Meanwhile, in 2024, real gasoline prices for end users fell to their lowest value in four years due to downward pressure on crude oil prices. Gasoline vs diesel Both diesel and gasoline are derived from crude oil. Gasoline, however, undergoes a more extensive refining process, resulting in a more volatile compound compared to diesel. This characteristic accelerates the combustion of gasoline, yielding greater horsepower in practical applications. Diesel's advantage lies in its slower burn, which makes it especially fuel efficient and more favorable for heavy-duty vehicles. The average consumption of diesel fuel in the United States stood at 3.46 million barrels per day in June 2025.

In May 2025, one gallon of diesel cost an average of 3.5 U.S. dollars in the United States. That was a decrease compared to the month prior, and also lower than prices in May 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.
