U.S Regional Gasoline Prices as of September 2, 2025
National gas prices reached record lows over the Labor Day holiday weekend, though they’ve been edging up this week.
The current national cost of gas stands at $3.15 per gallon, according to GasBuddy data. In addition, data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations nationwide shows that the national average is up 1.6 cents from a month ago and down 13.1 cents from a year ago.
“With the unofficial end of summer now behind us, we saw the lowest national average price of gasoline on Labor Day since 2020, with prices lower than a year ago in all but three states,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “This caps off the most affordable summer at the pump since 2021, with motorists spending $11.3 billion less on gasoline compared to last year. While summer may be in the rearview mirror, low gas prices aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, so long as we avoid major hurricanes or other disruptions, we’re on solid footing to see the national average dip to $2.99 per gallon this fall.”
Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of September 2:
- East Coast: $3.01
- Midwest: $3.08
- Gulf Coast: $2.77
- Rocky Mountain: $3.18
- West Coast: $4.15
