National Average Jumps 13 Cents in One Week

Posted September 10, 2026

WASHINGTON, DC-The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline went up 13 cents since last week to $4.27 as crude oil prices continue climbing. Volatility in the Strait of Hormuz has pushed crude oil back in the $100 per barrel range for the first time since July. Pump prices are currently comparable to early June. The national average is increasing during a season when gas prices typically go down due to lower gasoline demand. 

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