National Average Climbs Nearly 5 Cents Since Last Week

WASHINGTON, DC–The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline continues to climb, up nearly 5 cents from last week. At $4.48 per gallon, this is the highest the national average has ever been for this time of year. Typically, the start of autumn brings lower gas prices, but lingering volatility in the Strait of Hormuz and the high cost of crude oil are driving up pump prices. This month is on track to set a new September record. So far, the average for this month is $4.30, higher than the previous September record of $3.83 set in 2023.

The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 42 cents.
