Disclaimer
What our numbers are, what they are not, and when you should not rely on them.
Last updated October 28, 2026
Prices are averages, not quotes
Every price on this site is a weekly average published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It is not the price at any particular station, and it may differ from the sign at your local pump by 20 to 40 cents or more. Always check the posted price before you buy fuel.
No forecast, no advice
Nothing on this site is a prediction of future prices, an investment recommendation, or financial, legal, or tax advice. Articles explain how prices are determined; they do not tell you when to buy, sell, or invest.
Data currency
Price pages are dated by survey week. A page built from the week ending on the date shown may be several days old by the time you read it, and markets can move quickly after a refinery outage or a hurricane. The date on the price panel is the authoritative statement of how current the number is.
Calculators are estimates
Calculators use the inputs you provide and simple arithmetic. They do not account for tolls, parking, maintenance, depreciation, traffic, weather, elevation, or driving behaviour. Results should be treated as planning estimates, not precise bills.
Third-party names
AAA, GasBuddy, Waze, Google Maps, Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's, and all fuel brand names are trademarks of their respective owners. Their use on this site is for identification and comparison only. GasPrices.cyou is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them.

Links to government agencies and third-party sites are provided for verification and further reading. We do not control and are not responsible for content on those sites.
