For the second straight week, the nation’s average price of gasoline has increased, rising 1.2 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $3.11 per gallon, according to GasBuddy® data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country. The national average is up 1.3 cents from a month ago and is 32.8 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has decreased 0.1 cents in the last week and stands at $3.708 per gallon.

“It was another relatively tame week at the pump, with the national average inching up for the second straight week as oil prices briefly touched the $70 per barrel mark before sliding late in the week on news that OPEC+ will raise oil production again in September,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While price cycling led gas prices in some states to see double-digit increases or decreases, most saw only modest fluctuations. With OPEC+ now fully restoring production to 2023 levels — and fresh economic concerns arising from a weak jobs report and renewed tariff threats — oil prices may continue to face headwinds, potentially paving the way for a decline in gas prices in the weeks ahead.”
