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.
Over the past two decades the price of diesel fuel in Germany has fluctuated dramatically. Between 2000 and 2012, prices increased from 0.81 euros per liter to a peak of 1.49 euros. Prices began to decrease in the following years, dropping to 1.08 euros per liter as of 2016, close to the low seen in 2009. However, by 2019 the price per liter of diesel had again increased, at 1.25 euros per liter. Diesel prices decreased in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and increased to 1.28 euros per liter in 2021. As of June 2020, the average cost of diesel in Germany was lower than in France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.Global oil price increaseThe rise in diesel prices in recent years can be explained by the increase in crude oil prices. The cost of crude oil is the main component of diesel fuel prices and varies depending on supply and demand. From 2016 onwards, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude oil spot prices grew annually and stood at 65.23 and 71.34 U.S. dollars per barrel respectively in 2018. Diesel cars losing popularityDiesel was once the main choice of fuel in Europe for car buyers, but this has been changing in recent years. Between 2014 and 2018, the share of new passenger cars with diesel engines fell noticeably across Europe. In Germany, shares dropped by approximately 16 percent during this period to 32 percent. This decline in popularity also had an impact on prices.

Despite fluctuating, the price of diesel fuel per liter in the Netherlands has seen an overall increase since the year 2000. In that year, the average price amounted to 85 euro cents per liter. By 2021 this had increased to 1.37 euros. In comparison, the price per liter of unleaded 95 octane fuel was 1.61 euros in the same year. TaxationThe average price for a liter of diesel before taxation in the Netherlands was 0.47 British pounds per liter in 2018. More than half of the total price was from taxes at 0.63 British pounds. This was one of the highest taxations on the fuel in the European Union, with only eight other countries paying more. Diesel sales fall The number of newly registered passenger diesel cars has seen a significant decline since 2015. In that year there were approximately 130 thousand registered in the Netherlands, but the following year this fell to just 72,356. In 2017 the number fell further and amounted to 72,267, signaling a shift away from this type of vehicle. By 2020, diesel cars predating 2005 will be banned from entering the A10 ring road area around the Dutch capital in a bid to curb air pollution, with a complete diesel ban scheduled for 2030.
