National average gas price today
The US national average regular gasoline price is $4.15 per gallon, 12 cents per gallon below the previous survey week ($4.27). The figure is the EIA weekly retail survey release, series EMM_EPMR_PTE_NUS_DPG. [EIA · 2 Nov 2026]
How the national average is calculated
EIA collects prices from a retail outlet panel on Monday morning and publishes the national, district and state figures the same afternoon ET. The national number is a volume-weighted aggregate of the district readings, not an unweighted mean of the nine state series, which is why you cannot reconstruct it by averaging the state table on this site.
