Gas prices in New Hampshire

Read this figure as regional, not state. The EIA weekly retail survey does not price New Hampshire. Everything below uses New England (PADD 1A), the federal district New Hampshire sits in, and says so wherever the number appears. We do not estimate a price for New Hampshire from it.
