Fuel, power and charging, state by state
What a gallon of gasoline, a gallon of diesel and a kilowatt-hour actually cost where you live — and how many public chargers are there. Every figure says which area it came from.

Gasoline and diesel are the week of 2026-09-07; electricity is 2026-06; charging counts are as the federal register stood when this page was built. A region mark means the price is the refining region's average, not that state's own.
Where each number comes from
Source: EIA and NLRElectricity is per state. EIA publishes an average residential price for every state and the District of Columbia, monthly. Those figures are that state's, and the column can be read straight.
Gasoline mostly is not. EIA prices %d states individually and covers the rest through the refining region they sit in — the PADDs. Diesel is regional everywhere except California. Rather than hand every state a number and let you assume it is yours, every row that is a regional average is marked region, and hovering it names the region. That is the difference between this table and most of the ones you will find.
Charging counts are public sites open and operating in the federal register, not individual plugs — a site with eight stalls counts once. "Fast" means at least one DC fast connector, which is the distinction that decides whether a road trip works.
Why it is on a car site
Because "36 mpg" and "3.1 mi/kWh" are not costs until you multiply them by what you pay. The cost-to-own calculator does that multiplication with the figures on this page.
How often it moves
Gasoline and diesel weekly, electricity monthly, charging sites continuously. The site rebuilds daily, so a figure here is never more than a day behind its source.
The data behind this
The whole table as one file, the same one the calculators read.
Questions about these figures
Source: EIA and NLRWhy is my state's gas price the same as a neighbouring state's?
Because EIA does not publish a weekly retail price for either of them, so both are showing the average for the refining region they share. Those rows are marked. Nine states — California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Texas and Washington — have their own series and are not marked.
Is this what I will pay at the pump?
No. It is the average of what a station charged across a whole state or region in one week, including taxes. Your local station can sit either side of it, and prices move daily. Use it for arithmetic about a car, not to decide where to fill up.
Does the electricity price include charging away from home?
No. It is the residential rate, which is what you pay charging at home — where most EV charging happens. Public DC fast charging generally costs two to four times the residential rate, and varies by network.
What counts as a charging site?
A public location in the federal alternative-fuel station register that is open and operating. One site can have many stalls, so these numbers are smaller than a plug count and more useful for asking whether you could get somewhere.
