Gas prices in Nevada
EIA does not publish a weekly retail gasoline price for Nevada. The federal survey prices the district Nevada sits in, West Coast less California, at $4.82 per gallon in the week of August 31, 2026, 75 cents above the US average of $4.07. Pump prices inside the district vary around that figure.
On-highway diesel for West Coast less California is $5.87, 27 cents above the US diesel average of $5.60. EIA runs the diesel survey for California and the regions only, so every other state carries its district figure here. Clark County environmental fees and a CARB-style summer blend in Las Vegas push the south of the state above Reno.

Nevada's pump-price cost stack
Every gallon breaks down into five named slices. Applying the shares to the $4.82 figure above, and to Nevada's own excise rate, the stack looks like this:

Border-state comparison
How the neighbours read in the same survey week. Neighbours inside the same EIA district carry the same published figure, which is why several rows can match exactly.
Use the border comparator to compute the per-tank difference where the two states fall in different EIA districts.
